Delta Police Officer Charged With Careless Use Of Firearm After Man Injured

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 16 Apr, 2015 03:34 PM

VANCOUVER — A B.C. police officer whose gun went off and injured a man has been charged with careless use of a firearm.

The Criminal Justice Branch says the charge against Delta police Const. Vicken Movsessian emerges from an incident in November 2013.

The branch says the officer was on duty when police had contact with the occupants of a vehicle in Surrey.

The branch says it is alleged that Movsessian's firearm discharged, hurting a male inside the vehicle.

Because the injury involved police, the Independent Investigations Office looked into the allegations and determined the officer may have committed an offence.

Movsessian's first court appearance has been set for April 27 in Surrey provincial court.
