RCMP officers shot five rifle blasts at the Onslow fire hall on the morning of April 19, 2020, in a case of mistaken identity during the pursuit of Canada’s worst mass murderer.

Constables Terry Brown and Dean Melanson, approached the fire hall at about 10:17 a.m. that morning in an unmarked Nissan Altima.

They were pursuing the gunman who had already killed 19 people in Portapique, Debert and the Wentworth area earlier that morning and the previous evening.
