The Spiritwood Incident was a shooting that occurred on July 7, 2006, during a police pursuit in Saskatchewan, Canada, killing two of the three RCMP officers involved.
All three officers discharged their weapons, but none of them managed to hit their quarry, meanwhile Cameron and Bourdages were both shot once in the head through their car windshield while Knopp was struck by bullet fragments in the arm, ear, and torso.
[1][3] Working in the nearby town of Shellbrook that night, Staff Sergeant Barry Thomas received a call for back-up, and was one of the first officers to find the constables at the scene.
[3] A massive manhunt failed to find Dagenais, who turned himself in without incident to the RCMP's Spiritwood detachment on July 18, after twelve days.
[4] Dagenais' trial took place in 2009 at the Court of King's Bench for Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, before Justice Gerald Allbright.
