This is the best summary I could come up with:
's prosecution service has approved two criminal charges against 25-year-old man Nicholas Bellemare in the slaying of an RCMP officer on Friday.
Ridge Meadows RCMP Const.
Rick O'Brien was shot dead while executing a search warrant on Friday around 10 a.m. in Coquitlam, B.C., a city of 150,000 about 25 kilometres east of Vancouver.
In a statement Saturday afternoon, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) revealed O'Brien and two other officers were at the time executing a warrant "in relation to a drug investigation" originating in Maple Ridge, B.C.
online court records did not show any previous charges against the alleged suspect, who is scheduled to appear in court the morning of Oct. 3 in the Port Coquitlam Law Courts.
O'Brien, 51, was a decorated constable, who recently celebrated seven years of service, having become a Mountie in 2016.

Which is the problem when you use the argument that “law-abiding citizens” should be allowed to own guns. Everybody is law-abiding before they are caught committing a crime. Their first offence could be a murder using a gun.
honestly, their first offence will be negligent homicide for leaving a gun around. Show me someone who needs a pistol just laying around and I'll show you someone with unresolved control issues.
How do we know that he legally owned the gun?
I didn't see anything saying he had it legally.
I'm saying the same argument applies to everyone. Legal gun owners with no criminal record also shoot and kill innocent people. You cannot predict who will and who won't use a gun in a crime.
