Canadian police say they have arrested a man suspected of killing three police officers and wounding two others in Moncton, New Brunswick.

加拿大警方称他们逮捕了一名男子,该男子涉嫌在新不伦瑞克省孟克顿市枪杀三名警察并打伤另外两人。

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police in New Brunswick tweeted that Justin Bourque was arrested just after midnight in Moncton.

News of the arrest came after a huge manhunt went into its second night.

Schools and government offices were closed and residents told to stay indoors during the operation.

Police said residents of Moncton could now leave their homes.

'I saw him arrested'

A grainy(粒状的) image purporting(声称) to show Justin Bourque being taken into custody was circulating on social media.

A local resident named Michelle Thibodeau tweeted that she had witnessed the arrest.

"He was in my backyard. I saw him arrested in front of my eyes," she said.

"The Swat team arrived at my house and unloaded and started screaming in my backyard for him to surrender and he did. I watched it happen."

Stephen Puddicombe, a reporter for Canadian broadcaster CBC, said Mounties at the local RCMP headquarters smiled and hugged each other after the arrest was made.

"I think that's a celebration that you'll see repeated privately with Mounties around this city over the next several hours," he said.

The mayor of Moncton, George Leblanc, told CBC: "On the one hand we feel very happy, almost elated that this person has been arrested and this ordeal is over.

"But at the same time we have a great sense of sadness for the losses that our families have suffered."
