Regina police are cleared in the fatal shooting of a 29-year-old man after SIRT determined the officer acted lawfully—no charges will be filed. The suspect, arrested two days prior for homicide and later released, was spotted on a bike and found in an alley holding a knife. When told to drop it, he did—but then pulled out what he believed was a gun. One shot was fired; it later emerged the object was a cellphone. A replica gun and knife with his DNA were found in his bag. SIRT concluded the officer’s fear was justified given the violent crime and split-second decision-making.
