B.C. robbers' goal was to kill as many officers as possible, investigators say

Police say two brothers killed by police in a shootout outside a Victoria-area bank were there for a gunfight, not robbery.

An investigation by the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit says 22-year-old Isaac Auchterlonie and his twin, Mathew, hung around for 11 minutes after they were given the cash with the objective of having an armed confrontation with police.

Six officers were injured in the ensuing gunfight. An earlier report said police fired as many as 100 rounds at the suspects, killing them both. “Personal annotations were recovered expressing their outrage at the restrictions of their access to firearms and body armour.” "Both the suspects held valid possession and acquisition licences for both non-restricted and restricted firearms," he said.
