Two New Brunswick Police Officers Charged In Man's Shooting Death

The Canadian Press, 19 Nov, 2015 11:41 AM
    BATHURST, N.B. — RCMP have laid charges against two New Brunswick police officers in the shooting death of a 51-year-old man.
     
    Michel Vienneau of Tracadie-Sheila was fired on in his vehicle near the Bathurst train station on Jan. 12.
     
    A news release from Nova Scotia RCMP says constables Patrick Bulger, 38, and Mathieu Boudreau, 26, of the Bathurst City Police are each facing three charges of manslaughter with a weapon, assault with a weapon and unlawfully pointing a firearm. 
     
    The RCMP in Nova Scotia were asked to investigate the incident and concluded the investigation in July before handing it over to New Brunswick's Public Prosecution Service.
     
    Both officers will appear in Bathurst provincial court on Jan. 4.
     
    The New Brunswick Police Commission, which investigates complaints related to the conduct of police, has also launched an investigation into the two officers after a complaint made by the chief of the Bathurst police force.
     
    That investigation has been suspended until the criminal process concludes.
