Peace Arch Border Crossing Shooting Wounds Officer, Kills Self

Peace Arch Border Crossing Shooting Wounds Officer, Kills Self
Police Officers Target |  Terroristic Incidents

October 16, 2012 Tattoo artist Andrew "Andy" Crews was travelling alone in a white Ford E-series van with Washington plates pulled up to a kiosk at 1:51 p.m. and shot female Canada Border Services Agency Officer Lori Bowcock in the neck. He then shot himself in the head. A gunshot and sounds of a woman screaming were heard, then guards told the gunman to put his hands up, and then the driver shot himself in the head. Crews was originally from Nevada and had recently moved to Seattle from Kitsap County. Shooting a border crossing guard is very similar to shooting at a TSA agent, though there is no obvious connection, and it clearly was not declared a terrorist incident by any media. The man's motive remains a mystery.

    • sinicalboy Guest  It is too early to say for sure, but this does sound like the random act of a nutcase.
    • More information is likely to emerge as to what Mr. Crew's motives were, but this incident seem to be awfully strange. Did these people know each other? Was this man ill or suicidal. Did the shooter interpret questioning by the border guard as disrespectful to his American citizenship. Remember there are far too many US citizens who see Canada some backwater country where our laws are ..
