Alberta's ASIRT deems RCMP officer's fatal shooting of meth-affected assailant justified due to threat posed during June 2021 incident.
Alberta's police oversight agency, ASIRT, deemed an RCMP officer justified in fatally shooting a man under the influence of methamphetamine. The man had assaulted a woman, choked her dog, and attacked a police dog. During a June 2021 incident, he ignored police commands and became aggressive, leading to the officer's decision to use deadly force to protect themselves. The agency concluded the force used was necessary and reasonable under the circumstances.
