‘There’s something wrong:’ Calgary police chief on record officer shootings
CALGARY — Grant Heffernan thinks about his young brother every day but more so each time he hears there’s been another shooting by police in Calgary.
“We were thinking that with my brother’s death — something good could have come out of it but it hasn’t,” said Heffernan.
“Every time, I’m thinking if ASIRT and the Crown would have had the courage to put a stop to this, that these people would still be alive today.”
Anthony Heffernan, a 27-year-old recovering drug addict, was shot four times — including three shots to the head and neck — after police responded to a motel on March 16, 2015.
