Speculation on what happened so far is that 'someone' reported seeing a firearm and then things escalated from there - my best guess is that a nosy neighbor SWAT'd the guy and then buddy lit up the cops when they showed up + it got worse from there. IMO.... until I find out more about the 'other victims' , besides the one RCMP that died.
