Killer Loose in Canadian Small Town
PEREIRA: People in a normally quiet Canadian town are in quite amount of shock. They're being told to lock doors and stay inside because a gunman is loose in the neighborhood. Canadian police, RCMP, this man dressed in fatigues went on a rampage last night killing three RCMP officers, wounding two other. They have no idea of what's motivating him.</s>BERMAN: Moncton is about 175 miles from Maine. There's the map right there. Get a sense of the location. One couple saw the shooting outside their window and it was all caught on this video.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh my goodness.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He shot him.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh my god!</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He shot him. Call 911.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh, my god, call 911!</s>PEREIRA: That's a crazy, dramatic moment. Joining us on the phone, Peter Edwards, reporter from "The Toronto Star." Peter, thanks for joining us. Give us an idea of the current situation. The suspect still has not been apprehended?</s>PETER EDWARDS, REPORTER, THE TORONTO STAR (voice-over): No, he hasn't. Still locked down there. There's a massive police man hundred now. They've got a bit of a profile of the person but not extensive.</s>BERMAN: A manhunt for whom? You say a bit of a profile, nothing extensive. We see pictures of him in fatigues, headband on, a gun. The guy looks like a wannabe soldier.</s>EDWARDS: Yeah, he's 24 years old. There are reports that he was homeschooled, fired from a job at a Walmart four years ago, that lived in a trailer park, but police said he wasn't known to them. They didn't have a big record up to this point.</s>PEREIRA: What is shocking most people you don't hear of news like this out of Canada, particularly a small town like Moncton, has a reputation offing a nice town to settle down in. How are people managing, especially when the situation's unstable?</s>EDWARDS: It's shocking. There was a hockey game last night. It was interrupted to tell people watching from Moncton to lock their doors, which is just -- never heard of that before. It's quite unsettling for everybody.</s>BERMAN: What's the situation on the ground? Are people locked at home, waiting for this guy to be apprehended order waiting to hear more from police?</s>EDWARDS: Pretty much. And people are being asked to stay off social media, anything to give him a hint of what police are up to. So they have an area cordoned off and they seem to have something sort of secured, but they're asking people not to go outdoors, not go on social media and give him any hints of what they're up to.</s>PEREIRA: Thank you for joining us and bringing us the latest news. We'll keep an eye on it. Peter Edwards with "The Toronto Star" on the situation in Moncton. Another piece of news to share with you. It's the end of an era for what was one of the most important military secrets of World War II. The very last of the original Navajo Code Talkers has died. Chester Nez (ph) was recruited back in 194 by the Marines to develop a secret code used for vital communications during the war. The Code Talkers used native Navajo language, which had no written form. Its syntax was almost impossible to learn, thus making it impossible for the enemy to crack. Code Talkers were forbidden to speak of their work until it was declassified in 1968. Look at this. In 2001, Nez (ph) and the 28 other original Code Talkers presented with the Congressional gold medal by presidential Bush. As a child, Nez (ph) was punished at his boarding school by teachers saying he should not speak his native language. Navajo Code Talker Chester Nez (ph), 93.</s>BERMAN: End of an era, some 70 years. By the way, tomorrow, D-day anniversary.</s>PEREIRA: Yeah.</s>BERMAN: A want to end with cable outrage.</s>PEREIRA: Really? Go!</s>BERMAN: Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. Scratch that. Not Romans. You're not good enough any more. Not to the NFL. The NFL has decided to rebrand the Super Bowl. So that logo for Super Ball 50 will not use a roman numeral, instead it will look like this. Super Bowl 50 will have a number. The NFL used roman numerals since --</s>PEREIRA: Wait. What?</s>BERMAN: -- since Super Bowl 5, or V, as I call it, but they didn't want to do for Super Bowl 50 because they didn't like the look of the Roman numeral for 50, which is the letter "L"? Really, et tu, Roger Goodell? I can name five things that have done with the letter "L," love, Lycra, Lombada (ph), lines, life. Life is good, right? Maybe not good enough for the envelope, or should I say the NF. See how you like it. You do not want to start Romans. Check your local listings. Who would have thought that in football roman numerals would disappear before the Redskin name?</s>PEREIRA: You know what?</s>BERMAN: The league more sensitive to concerns of the anti-"L" lobby than to Native Americans? Seriously, think about that. So if you're keeping score, that's Redskins, 1, the letter "L" nothing. Or to upset the NFL, I'm going to say it's I, nothing.</s>PEREIRA: Up top, right here. I'm outraged as you are. Thanks for joining us @THISHOUR.</s>BERMAN: And I'm John Berman. "LEGAL VIEW" starts right now.
