NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. — An officer with Metro Vancouver Transit Police who was shot last week in the line of duty will undergo surgery for his injuries this week.

In a statement, Const. Josh Harms expressed his gratitude to his colleagues with the transit police and the RCMP, as well as staff at the B.C. Ambulance Service and Royal Columbia Hospital.

The 27-year-old also thanked his wife, family and members of the public who expressed their support.

Harms was shot Wednesday on a SkyTrain platform in Surrey.

Police said Daon Glasgow was taken into custody Sunday after a Canada-wide warrant was issued.
