CANADIAN BORDER OFFICIAL SHOT ON DUTY LIKELY TO RECOVER FULLY

A Canadian border officer who was shot at her security booth is expected to recover fully, a Canadian official says.

It’s as the investigation continues into what led a Seattle man to shoot the officer and himself at a major crossing between Washington state and British Columbia.

Officer Lori Bowcock was shot in the neck on Tuesday afternoon by a lone man in a van, who was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound shortly after he fired at Bowcock, said officials with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).

The officer was airlifted to a nearby hospital. The motive for the shooting remained under investigation.

The shooting led authorities to close the Peace Arch crossing, the main border entry point between Seattle and Vancouver.
