An armed suspect is at large after gunfire erupted in a Moncton neighbourhood Wednesday evening.

Police said an undisclosed number of people have been shot. They are advising people in the vicinity to stay inside.

Codiac RCMP tweeted that they are looking for 24-year-old Justin Bourque, of Moncton. He is considered armed and dangerous.

Moncton hospital Horizon Health tweeted that they have received two patients with gunshot wounds.

On Facebook, New Brunswick NDP Leader Dominic Cardy warned residents “near the shootings in Moncton” to stay away from windows, lock doors and “wait for the all-clear from police.”

Resident Heidi James told CTV News Channel that she was at home with her husband and young children when they heard gunfire.

“I heard probably about four to five shots. They sounded quite loud,” James said.

James said she moved her children away from windows as worried friends and family began texting her to make sure her family was safe.

She said her husband peeked out the window and saw a body, covered with a blanket, next to a “shot-out” vehicle.

“We haven’t been told yet that it’s safe to leave our house,” James said, adding roads in her neighbourhood have been barricaded off.

Eyewitness Jeff Boudreau told News Channel that he was on his way home from work when he saw “a lot of officers flying by me.”

Boudreau said officers were in the process of blocking off residential streets when he passed by, and that “the whole north end is on shut down.”

Developing story...

This is pretty serious... hope everyone will be fine and they catch him.

@News1130radio:

BREAKING: RCMP in New Brunswick confirm three officers have been killed in #Moncton shooting. Shooter still on the loose.

3 have passed away. 2 injured. This guy seems like he's had previous practise with fire arms. Not just a random shooter I can assume. Still hasn't been found as of 5 minutes ago. Been on the loose for about 4 hours. Night time in Moncton, will be a very anxious night for all citizens there.
