Mountie Describes Bloody Scene At Site Of Forest Mill Shooting In Nanaimo, B.C.

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 08 Sep, 2016 01:36 PM
    NANAIMO, B.C. — One of the first RCMP officers at the scene of a deadly workplace shooting on Vancouver Island described seeing a blood-soaked scene moments before he arrested an emotionless man inside the company office.
     
    Nanaimo Mountie David Buchanan told the B.C. Supreme Court trial that he was the second officer to arrive at the Western Forest Products mill April 30, 2014, in response to reports of shots fired. 
     
    Kevin Addison, a former employee at the mill, is accused of two counts each of first-degree murder and attempted murder.
     
    Buchanan told the jury that when he arrived at the mill he saw one man on the ground in the parking lot with blood pooling beside his body, then went into the mill's office to help handcuff Addison who was sitting against a wall.
     
    The trial has heard that employees Michael Lunn and Fred McEachern died in the shooting rampage, while Tony Sudar and Earl Kelly where shot but survived.
     
    The Crown has said the jury will hear evidence that Addison was a disgruntled former employee and yelled expletives during the shootings.
