2 suspects killed, 6 police officers injured in shootout at bank in Saanich, B.C.

Six police officers are in hospital with gunshot wounds and two suspects have been killed following an attempted bank robbery in Saanich, B.C., on Tuesday.

As of Tuesday afternoon, police continue to ask people in the area of North Dairy Road to Cedar Hill Cross Road, and between Richmond Road to Cedar Hill Road, to shelter in place as heavily armed officers search for a possible third suspect.

Multiple officers from Saanich Police, VicPD, and the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team (GVERT) responded to the report of armed suspects at a bank in the 3600-block of Shelbourne Street around 11 a.m.

This seems odd for a Canadian bank robbery, shootouts are as rare as dead bank robbers.

So was it drugs that motivated such a suicidal commitment by the robbers or were they following a higher calling and this is linked to the Coastal gas terrorists?
