An RCMP officer who shot at an American man after he crossed illegally into Canada last year acted on reasonable grounds, an independent investigation by a police watchdog found.
The RCMP and Alberta Sheriffs were notified just after 7:30 a.m. on Feb. 4, 2025, that a man fled a secondary screening at the Coutts border crossing and drove into Canada illegally, according to a report by the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT).
