The 4th of june we woke the kids in a hurry and we left our house right after the shooting for a safer place ( we were close tho the event) but never felt really safe in the city not knowing where the shooter really was. When my family was safe I went to work at the hospital as disaster mesures were activated. We were relieved this morning to learn that the moncton shooter had been arrested.
This joy turned into deep sadness when we learned that one of the 3 police officers killed in the moncton shooting was our friend Fabrice Gevaudan.
He was very proud of his work and was well beyond what we could expect from a simple officer. He really believed he could change the fate of the young kids he was dealing with in his everyday job. He was an excellent officer, but above all a great person.
In his last email, he told me he finally had everything he wanted. He had moved with his wife and the 10yo daughter of his wife and, ( he was newly married and had a stable job and had a new home). He was living the dream. Everything abruptly ended the 4th of june with absolutely no good reason.
Special thank you to all the other police officers who put their uniform to protect us knowing that by putting this uniform, they were targets for the shooter.
Special thoughts to Cst Cst Dave Joseph Ross and James Douglas Larche who also lost their lives in service at the same time and the 2 other wounded cops.
Lesson learned. Lastly I was always meeting Fabrice in the hospital. Him coming with people of car crash, stabing, etc as a cop and me as a surgeon. We were always talking about a BBQ that we should do with both family for the kids but always too busy to make it happen.
We should never be busy enough to take the time
