Default Saskatoon Shooting

I am not sure if this is already posted here.
I apologize if this is a repeat post.

http://saskatoonpolice.ca/news/2016732

They (RCMP) stated that this person may have died from a self inflicted gunshot wound?

If so could the owner be charged with unsafe storage and also possibly manslaughter since it may have been his firearm which caused the death.?

Something is not right here.

Why the rush to judgement without obtaining the facts?

From your link.
There is no report that the firearms were stored illegally.
There is no report that the homeowner's firearm was discharged....
There was NO report that the deceased may have shot himself.



For sure, something is not right here.

I agree, that's a huge pile of unsubstantiated assumptions to run on about without even a shred of evidence or news reports to base them on. As I read it the homeowner did the right thing, specifically where he noted to the police about the firearms present.

Well, first off, the man died, but the police engaged him first. So, did he die as a result of their bullets, that is up to a coroner.

Second, Ave Q is the ghetto. So, was the man from Medicine Hat known to the owner of the house, or was it just happenstance that he picked a house with guns?

Third, how is it proven that it was unsafe storage on the part of the owner? Someone breaking the law to obtain a firearm is obviously the main guilty party. What if the MH man was able to clip through a cable lock etc.?

Too much conjecture and unknown facts to really determine what has happened.

This article seems to state the guns were locked up and that the deceased was arrested not much earlier and ordered to leave town.

He is the guilty party no matter what. He died committing a crime. Sorry about his luck.

Moral of the story: Don't do drugs children! Being from generation snowflake probably didn't help with his coping mechanisms much either. With the current state of the judicial system & 'corrections' it's somewhat sad that this is the best possible outcome. That being said, my sympathy guage is hovering around zero. Sucks for the homeowner, now his castle will have that memory looming over it.

My original post was a question not a statement.
