Father remembers son’s last night alive before Winnipeg police shooting
WINNIPEG — The father of a man shot and killed by Winnipeg police told an inquest examining the death he still carries memories of police lights and the body of his son outside their home.
“I kept saying, ‘Is he all right? Is he breathing?’” Brian McDougall testified Monday from a wheelchair.
McDougall told the court he remembers someone waking him up in the early morning hours of Aug. 2, 2008, saying they heard a shot.
But he didn’t remember much else until he was outside looking at the body of his son, Craig McDougall.
