RCMP on hunt of gunman Justin Bourque after multiple shootings in Moncton

The gunman 24-year-old Justin Bourque, who is dressed as John Rambo played by actor Sylvester Stallone in the popular 1980s films, has shot five Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers including a woman, in Moncton in New Brunswick, Canada.

RCMP spokesman Paul Greene confirmed the three deaths.

"There is an active shooter in the Moncton area. We"re asking residents to stay in their homes and lock their doors,” said RCMP Constable Rogers-Marsh, reported.

Sean Gallacher, who lives near the area where police were concentrating their search, told AP he heard what he now believes were gunshots but initially thought his daughter had dropped some toys on the floor above him.

"I was downstairs and heard a few bangs,” said Gallacher, 35.

Canadian Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney tweeted that he was "shocked by the tragedy” and that his thoughts and prayers were with frontline RCMP officers.

So sad for the brave RCMP officers who have fallen tonight. They did so, trying to protect the people of #Moncton. We must never forget them — Sébastien Belliveau (@Seb_Bell) June 5, 2014

Motorists were waed to avoid the Plaza Boulevard area.

Parts of Wheeler Boulevard are cordoned off and traffic on Mountain Road is backed up.

The Horizon Health Network has confirmed that the Moncton Hospital has received two patients with gunshot wounds.

The hospital is restricting visitors to those with "critically ill family members.”

Bourque"s last posting on his Facebook, just before the first reports of shooting, was:

"A cockroach in the concrete, courthouse tan and beady eyes.

A slouch with fallen arches, purging truths into great lies.

A little man with a big eraser, changing history

Procedures that he"s programmed to, all he hears and sees.

Altering the facts and figures, events and every issue.

Make a person disappear, and no one will ever miss you.

Rewrites every story, every poem that ever was.

Eliminates incompetence, and those who break the laws.

Follow the instructions of the New Ways" Evil Book of Rules.

Replacing rights with wrongs, the files and records in the schools.

You say you"ve got the answers, well who asked you anyway?

Ever think maybe it was meant to be this way?

Don"t try to fool us, we know the worst is yet to come.

I believe my kingdom will come.”
