No charges will be laid against a Canmore RCMP officer who shot and seriously injured a suspect during a confrontation at a police checkpoint more than a year ago.
The report detailed an incident that took place shortly after 11 p.m. on the night of Feb.24, 2023, when the subject officer conducting a check stop on Rundle Drive near Three Sisters Drive, wearing a high-visibility jacket marked “POLICE.”
The SO radioed in the situation and continued to follow the AP, but at 11:11p.m., said he was going to stop following him. He shut off his emergency lights and sirens and continued behind him. The AP drove into a residential area at high speed, turning left on to Seventh Avenue when a second bang was recorded at 11:14 p.m. The AP was a bit beyond video range so it wasn’t caught on tape, but the SO said, “He’s shooting at me.”
Following the third shot, the AP raised a hand to his head indicating he may have been struck by a bullet. Then he started to drive forward, with tires continuing to spin out. “The SO was required or authorized by law to respond as he did, and he did so reasonably,” the report concluded. “His uses of force were proportionate, necessary, and reasonable. As such, the defences available to him under 25 and 34 of the Criminal Code are likely to apply.
