Man Killed By Vancouver Police In Botched Canadian Tire Robbery Identified

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 14 Nov, 2016 12:21 PM
    VANCOUVER — The BC Coroners Service has named the 38-year-old man fatally shot by Vancouver Police last week.
     
    Daniel Rintoul died Nov. 10, following a report of a robbery and stabbing at a Canadian Tire store in east Vancouver.
     
    Rintoul was shot during an altercation with police outside the store.
     
    An officer was stabbed in the head and stomach before the suspect was shot and died at the scene.
     
     
    Both the officer and a store employee, who had been slashed and stabbed during the attempted robbery, are expected to recover and an 82-year-old man who was briefly taken hostage was unhurt. 
     
    On Friday, Chief Constable Adam Palmer said an investigation is continuing and a search of the suspect's home provided police with concerning evidence of possible criminal intentions beyond the robbery.
