The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) has determined that Yukon Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officers acted reasonably when they shot and killed Christopher John Delaney, 55, during an attempted arrest on January 27. Delaney, who was armed with a paintball gun that resembled a real firearm, had been wanted on multiple serious charges, including three counts of assault with a weapon. The incident began when police pursued Delaney on the Alaska Highway after he failed to comply with arrest orders. After forcing his vehicle into a ditch, police attempted to apprehend him but he refused to comply. Officers fired non-lethal projectiles to dislodge him from the vehicle. When Delaney exited and moved toward the treeline, he was shot after officers perceived a threat when he appeared to hold a handgun. ASIRT's report concluded that the officers' use of lethal force was justified, given the immediate threat they faced. The investigation included interviews with involved officers and a civilian witness, who expressed concern about the force used. Ultimately, ASIRT found no evidence of wrongdoing by the officers.
