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.

A Canadian border services officer was shot and seriously wounded by a gunman who then fatally turned his weapon on himself at the Peace Arch crossing south of Vancouver, police say.
Const. Bert Paquet said at an RCMP news conference that the female border officer was breathing and conscious when airlifted to hospital. The RCMP said late Tuesday that her condition was "stable," but did not provide details.
Paquet told reporters that a man travelling alone in a white van with Washington licence plates pulled up to a kiosk and shot the border guard.
He said the suspect died from "what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound
Reports say that women border guard that was shot is on the road to recovery. That's good news.
* 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
