Officers met with immediate gunfire, could feel ‘percussion’ of bullets at Saanich bank shooting
The Independent Investigations Office of British Columbia has cleared members of the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team and the Saanich Police Department involved in the deaths of two bank robbery suspects.
The 22-year-old Duncan brothers are referred to as “affected persons” throughout the report and are not named. More than 16 minutes after entering the bank, the brothers exited while still carrying their rifles. At the same moment, an unmarked police van carrying seven GVERT members turned into the parking lot.
At the same time, a third officer at the back of the van shouted he had been shot in the neck and suffered a severe shoulder wound.
