Sad news today...
It's all over most of the papers, but if you haven't heard, four RCMP officers were shot & killed by a guy running a marijuana grow-up on an Alberta farm. The killer died at the scene as well. Here's to the brave officers of the RCMP and the jobs they do every day to keep us safe.
Buried in the article I read were a couple of interesting facts. This is the first time since 1985 that more than one officer has been killed in action in the same incident. Amazing. Also, apparently Mayerthorpe, (the town where it happened), is also considered the Crystal Meth capital of Alberta.
