RCMP Reviewing Report On Investigation Into Police Shooting Of N.L. Man

The Canadian Press, 31 Aug, 2016 11:46 AM
    ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — The RCMP in Newfoundland and Labrador says it is reviewing a report from the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team into the shooting death of Don Dunphy.
     
    In a statement Wednesday, the force says it has received the review of the RCMP investigation into Dunphy's death on April 5, 2015.
     
    It comes days after provincial Justice Minister Andrew Parsons said he was frustrated that he hadn't yet seen the report, adding that the public needs to know what happened.
     
    The 59-year-old man was shot and killed in his home on Easter Sunday by a police officer who was a member of the then-premier's security detail.
     
    The officer was investigating a perceived threat at the home in Mitchells Brook, about 80 kilometres southwest of St. John's.
     
    RCMP Staff Sgt. Greg Hicks has said the officer reported he was invited in, but the mood changed after about 15 minutes and Dunphy aimed a rifle at him.
