"The front lobby desk was unoccupied at that time. “After banging on the windows, Laprise fired multiple rounds into the windows. The rounds did not penetrate the bullet-resistant glass.” Police said officers tried to start a dialogue with the Laprise, during which she shot at them. “Officer Spencer Boisvert then returned fire, firing two shots,” the statement said. The station’s bullet-resistant glass stopped all bullets fired.
