“The officers located the man standing in a dark area just outside the station, they attempted to verbally deescalate the situation, when the man allegedly fired several rounds from the hand gun at the two officers, and three nearby paramedics,” said Wicentowich.
The officers deployed a taser cartridge and were able to subdue and arrest the man, added Wicentowich.
Speculate on what prompted Mounties to deploy a Taser rather than their firearm?
