Trial Date Expected To Be Set For Man Charged With Shooting B.C. Mountie

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 05 Jan, 2016 12:31 PM
    KAMLOOPS, B.C. — A trial date is expected to be set later this month for a man charged with the attempted murder of a Mountie in Kamloops, B.C.
     
    Courtroom scheduling matters have delayed the case of 37-year-old Kenneth Knutson, who is set to return to court on Jan. 18.
     
    He was ordered to stand trial after a one-hour preliminary hearing on Dec. 7.
     
    Knutson is facing five charges stemming from the December 2014 shooting of RCMP Cpl. Jean-Rene Michaud during a traffic stop.
     
    The officer was struck by two bullets — one in the elbow and another in the torso.
     
    Michaud has had multiple surgeries and may be back at work later this year.
