The Canadian city of Moncton remains on lockdown as authorities hunt for a man accused of shooting five police officers, killing three, on Wednesday.

Officials say the suspect, Justin Bourque, 24, was spotted multiple times early on Thursday morning.

They have warned people to stay inside and lock their doors.

One of the wounded Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has been released from hospital, and one remains in hospital in stable condition.

It is the deadliest attack on the country's police force since four officers were killed by a gunman on a farm in the western Canadian province of Alberta in 2005.
'Complete investigation'

Police said on Wednesday they still did not know where Mr Bourque was, but he was armed and dangerous.

RCMP Supt Marlene Snowman warned that the suspect was armed with high-powered firearms.
