Heavily armed year-olds died in shootout that left six police officers injured in Saanich, British Columbia. On Saturday, police identified Mathew and Isaac Auchterlonie, 22, as the two men killed after they attempted to rob a bank in the municipality of Saanich, British Columbia. The brothers entered a Bank of Montreal branch on Tuesday morning wearing black clothing and armoured vests. Close to 20 people were in the bank at the time. When police arrived a chaotic firefight began as the brothers left the bank.
The twins were killed in the shootout and six officers injured, including three with serious gunshot wounds. He and his family sheltered in their dining room. Police ordered businesses and residents to evacuate the area after multiple explosive devices were found, closing off the area for several days. What were they waiting for? They could have just taken the money and left right away.
They would have been in and out before the police got there. Despite arriving at the bank heavily armed and with a cache of explosives, police say neither of the brothers had criminal records and were not previously known to police. Scattered throughout the account were images of the young man firing rifles in the forest and praise for previous famous bank robberies. One post shared excerpts from a documentary on the North Hollywood shootout, a bank robbery in which two heavily armed men injured more than a dozen people during a standoff with police.
Other posts referenced a conflict between the Irish Republican Army and British soldiers and police, as well as the Waco siege , when federal officers and soldiers stormed a Branch Davidian religious compound in Texas in Auchterlonie also expressed fierce opposition to Covid vaccination as well as recent gun control legislation proposed by the federal government.
