A Calgary man who pointed a gun at police officers and was subsequently shot in the city’s southeast last week is facing a long list of charges.
Just after midnight on Friday, June 6, two plained clothed Calgary Police Service (CPS) officers were patrolling in an unmarked vehicle when they drove by a vehicle with several people in it.
Alberta Serious Incident Response Teams (ASIRT) says one of the vehicle’s passengers pointed a handgun at the officers.
The unmarked vehicle then followed the civilian vehicle into the Manchester industrial area when backup police units tried to pull it over.
When the civilian vehicle stopped, a passenger opened his back door and ran away. The other people in the vehicle stayed put and followed police commands.
Two uniformed CPS officers in a marked vehicle drove towards where the man was last seen running into an area of buildings, about 300 metres from where the vehicle was pulled over.
The officers, armed with a handgun and a shotgun, found the man and exited their cruiser.
ASIRT says there was a confrontation and the officer with the handgun shot the suspect multiple times.
The two officers were joined by other CPS officers who gave the man medical attention until he was taken to Foothills Hospital.
CPS says he is still in hospital in stable condition with life-altering injuries.
A 3D-printed gun with .22 rounds was found in the man’s possession after he was shot by police.
Thirty-two-year-old Tomy Loranger has since been charged with pointing a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, unauthorized possession of a firearm in a motor vehicle, possession of a restricted/prohibited firearm with ammunition, possession of a firearm contrary to an order, using a firearm in the commission of an offence — assault with a weapon, using a firearm in the commission of an offence –assaulting a peace officer with a weapon, assault with a weapon, assaulting a peace officer with a weapon, careless use of a firearm, and possession of a weapon obtained by crime.
He is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
Cheth Mackonne Mitchell, 36, of Chestermere, was charged with breach of a release order.
He is set to make a court appearance on Monday.
ASIRT is now investigating whether the use of force by the officer was warranted.
All officers involved, including the plain clothed officers, were wearing body-worn cameras at the time of the incident. The police watchdog is in possession of that footage.
No further details on this incident are expected until the investigation by ASIRT is concluded.
