One day after the hacker group Anonymous vowed to “avenge one of our own” following the shooting, the group is claiming to have crashed parts of the RCMP website.
A Twitter account associated with the global activist group has posted photos showing the Dawson Creek RCMP website server status listed as “down.”
Police have not yet confirmed whether there is a connection between the man who was shot and killed outside of a Site C open house in Dawson Creek on Thursday, and evidence on social media of a plan to disrupt the event.
Although police have confirmed the man who was shot was wearing a mask, authorities are not confirming whether it was the Guy Fawkes mask associated with the group.
