No charges will be considered against police officers who fired a “volley of carbine rounds” at the suspect in a homicide and hostage incident on the Campbell River waterfront in June, 2022.

The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) of BC’s Chief Civilian Director made that determination in a report released Dec. 11. Ronald J. MacDonald said the suspect died at his own hands just moments before police officers hit him with nine postmortem gunshots on Monday, June 13, 2022 at the Discovery Harbour Marina in Campbell River.
