Victoria, B.C., resident Shelli Fryer was one of 22 people who ended up being held hostage in a bank in Saanich on Tuesday morning when suspects burst in to hold up the place.
“(The bank manager) said so calmly, ‘we’re being robbed,’” Fryer said. “And he got a key, and as he got the key, I said, ‘should I get down?’ and he said, ‘just a sec.’ I was going to go by my chair, I was going to crouch by my chair and I look up and in the doorway, there’s a guy standing there with an assault rifle.”
Multiple officers from Saanich and Victoria responded to the scene and encountered the armed suspects, which is when gunfire was exchanged and 6 officers were injured.
Saanich police confirmed Wednesday they are still looking into the possibility of a third suspect. Two were shot and killed at the scene.
