Waterloo Mayor Dorothy McCabe says she was “surprised and shocked” to learn that a Waterloo Regional Police Service sniper was deployed as part of law enforcement’s efforts to manage an unsanctioned street party during St. Patrick’s Day weekend in the city’s university district.
Waterloo police confirmed to The Canadian Press that a photo and video circulating of a sniper monitoring the St. Patrick’s Day crowd on Saturday was indeed a Waterloo police officer.
