  • SPREE KILLER: Justin Bourque

    SPREE KILLER: Justin Bourque
    Jan 28 2026

    Canada is known for being safe—especially when it comes to gun violence. That’s why what happened in Moncton, New Brunswick in June 2014 shook the country to its core.

    On a warm summer evening, a heavily armed man dressed head-to-toe in camouflage walked out of a trailer park and into the woods. Within an hour, three RCMP officers would be dead, two more wounded, and an entire city placed under lockdown.


    This is the story of the Moncton RCMP shootings: a case marked by missed warning signs, escalating paranoia, and a devastating failure to intervene before violence erupted. We’ll trace Justin Bourque’s path to that night—his radicalization, his obsession with authority and weapons, and the moment Canada confronted a kind of mass violence it never expected at home.

    A heartbreaking chapter in Canadian history—and a reminder that no country is immune.
