Moncton, a city of about 100,000 people, is about 90 miles (150 kilometers) northeast of St. John.
The Canadian magazine "Chatelaine" has described Moncton as one of the best places to live and work in Canada, according to the city's website.
In addition, "Reader's Digest" recently named Moncton as the most polite city in all of Canada, the city said.
Such accolades seemed to matter little now.
As the hunt dragged into Thursday morning, police continued giving updates and warnings throughout the night.

He seems to have time to keep his social profile current

Bizarrely the Facebook user appears to have added two new friends to his account whilst on the run from police.

Wow....in New Brunswick.

I realize law enforcement tragedies like this happen everywhere, but I recall reading a study where Maine was determined to be the safest state in the Union. So, I guess I just figured it's bucolic Canadian neighbor would be the most sheltered place in North America.

Yeah. Social media on the lamb. Isn't the 21st century just overflowing with the narcissism?

I'm sure the self-endulgent manifesto and YouTube video will be along shortly.

Wow. Close to home. Moncton is a 2 hour drive from here. We go there all the time to shop and visit friends. Still in shock. 20 RCMP and 3 Charlottetown police dept. members from this province are now in Moncton to help in the search for the shooter.

Sincere condolences to the families of the slain officers. God bless them all.

Just a matter of time....deepest condolences to the bereaved families and best efforts to those who are tasked with bringing this madness to a conclusion.

Spectemur Agendo.
