Poacher Shoots RCMP vehicle with Banned Rifle
So the guy attempts to poach caribou with a banned firearm, and shoots holes in the RCMP vehicle.

So much for all of that quality training. 
The real issue is an on duty officer, in a marked patrol vehicle, trying to poach caribou, without a license, with a banned firearm.

I replaced a hood on a customer's truck that had quite the tear from shooting over his hood.

Shooting with a scope will do that for you, very easily.

When its Law Enforcement then its considered a patrol carbine. But to a law abiding citizen it's an assault rifle.
I hope this guy gets held accountable from the charges.

Did he at least say that the caribou was coming right at him?

At least he didn’t try to run the caribou over, and I’m guessing there wasn’t a fire hall around either……

Maybe he just committed career suicide instead. Almost sounds like he did something even more stupid and made this story up.
I won’t be too critical though. I shot the antennae off of my friend’s pick up while shooting at wild pigs out the window. Shooting out of a vehicle was legal where I was at.

I once shot the clearance light off a pickup truck, killed the deer too.
