IIO says Mountie who shot theft suspect in Salmon Arm didn’t do anything wrong
SALMON ARM, B.C. — BC’s police watchdog has cleared a Salmon Arm RCMP officer of wrongdoing after he shot a theft suspect who he believed was attempting to run over a fellow officer.
22 year old Kaymen Winter was seriously injured on January 30, 2017 outside Xcalibur Kawasaki and Carwash.
Three officers had arrived at the carwash just after midnight, responding to a 911 report that someone was breaking into a coin box at the carwash.
The officers positioned their vehicles to prevent the suspect, Winter, from leaving in his truck, which was inside one of the wash bays.
