Fredericton police have named the two police officers who were killed in this morning’s shooting incident. They were 45-year-old Constable Robb Costello and 43-year-old Sara May Burns. Costello’s common-law partner, Jackie McLean, says she’s still trying to absorb it all. McLean says Costello lived to be a police officer and never worried that something could happen to him on the job. The two civilians who were killed — a man and a woman — have not been identified. Multiple victims are being treated in hospital for injuries. Police said they have a 48-year-old Fredericton man in custody who is being treated for serious injuries.
