So far, investigators haven’t revealed a motive for the robbery, which resulted in the deaths of the two suspects……twin brothers from Duncan.

The RCMP are cautioning against reading too much into their social media posts.

One of the brothers had posted that firearms were necessary to protect against a “tyrannical” government.
