RCMP Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald says 51-year-old Const. Rick O'Brien was killed and two other officers were injured, while a suspect was shot and is also in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.Policing was a second career for O'Brien who worked with at-risk youth before joining the RCMP in 2016.
McDonald says O'Brien led by example, was respected by his peers, was loved in his community, had a great sense of humour and leaves behind a wife and children. The commissioner says he's outraged to see police officers killed across the country trying to protect their communities.Note to readers: This is a corrected story.
