Statement from the Commanding Officer of J Division regarding a recent shooting incident in Elsipogtog, N.B.
September 12, 2024
On September 8th, 2024, the New Brunswick RCMP were dispatched to a 911 call for service involving a suicidal male armed with a weapon at a residence in Elsipogtog.
I want to clarify that information circulating that this call was a wellness check is inaccurate.
I am deeply committed to transparency and accountability to the public and, as such, this incident was referred to the Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) at the earliest opportunity.
At this juncture, I am focussed on fully cooperating with the SIRT investigation. I am also focussed on ensuring public safety in the community of Elsipogtog, supporting the community as they face their loss, and supporting our police officers and employees who are heavily impacted by this incident as well.
The New Brunswick RCMP is fully cooperating with the investigation, respects the integrity of this review and will not provide any additional comments on the ongoing investigation.
Thank you,
DeAnna
Assistant Commissioner DeAnna L. Hill, O.O.M.
J Division Commanding Officer
