To bad the story spent more time on the traffic implications of the shooting than on the crime itself, because it would have been intersting to know why she got shot since random shootings of border guards isn't a common occurance.
But with that being said I hope she's stable and gets better quickly.

still no idea why.
I wonder if the CBSA agent was armed? I know their union is against arming them and only about half are armed. Maybe this will change their mind.
To be honest I don't think it would have made a lick of difference as it seems this guy just pulled up and then shot immediately. Having a pistol in the holster, while sitting down, there is no way in hell she could have drawn quick enough to get a first shot off.
Suicide by proxy.
No, because he shot himself, no one else did.

From what I hear she was not. But as it was mentioned it would not have likely helped.
I never understood why immigration officers overseas get ballistic proof glass and speakers to talk to clients while our boarder guys who have drug smugglers and arms smugglers and other low lifes passing by them every day get a cheap sliding glass window.
When we got pulled over and had the vehicle inspected at that same border crossing a couple of years ago, every guard we saw was armed and wandering around like rambo on steroids with their hands continually on their weapon.
And the guy in the booth who started the whole schmozzle was armed which leads me to ask. Why wasn't this woman?
Probably not but it's like the UK vs Can policing. People will act very differently when they know that cops etc are armed. Been there and got that t-shirt.
Not in this case.
The name was confirmed by the B.C. Coroners Service Wednesday.
Crews, 32, was a resident of Bremerton, Wash.
Crews drove to the Peace Arch border crossing Tuesday just before 2 p.m. PT and shot Canadian border officer Lori Bowcock who was staffing a kiosk, dealing with people entering Canada by car from Washington.
Bowcock was shot in the neck and airlifted to hospital, where she underwent surgery and is in stable condition. Officials said Wednesday she is expected to make a full recovery.
Crews then shot himself and died at the scene, inside the vehicle he was driving, a white van with Washington licence plates.
Crews is believed to have been a tattoo artist working in a tattoo parlour in Silverdale, Wash., about 20 kilometres west of Seattle.
Crews had moved to Bremerton from Las Vegas, where he also worked as an artist. A former work colleague was stunned to hear what Crews had done.
"He was happy-go-lucky. He loved music and art, always fun," said Shannon Bundy, of the Showroom Tattoo Parlor. "I just talked to him two weeks ago and it sounded like life was going good. I don't have any idea why this would happen."

Very strange. The video has more info - sounds like he was losing it over the span of a few weeks.
