The death of a Metro Vancouver RCMP officer who was shot dead while executing a search warrant is reverberating with law enforcement officials across the country.
The National Police Federation, which represents RCMP members across Canada, says it has launched a GoFundMe fundraising campaign for the family of Const. Rick O'Brien, 51, who died yesterday in Coquitlam, B.C.
Police say two other officers were injured in the incident, and a suspect in his 20s was also shot and is in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Halwa says the funds cannot come close to replacing O'Brien's loss, but the Benevolent Foundation is hoping to take on as much of the financial pressures facing the family in the wake of his death.
