A Vancouver police officer and a loss prevention officer testified on Wednesday for the coroner's inquest into the death of Daniel Rintoul.
An East Vancouver loss prevention officer and a Vancouver police officer testified Wednesday at the coroner’s inquest into the death of 38-year-old Daniel Peter Rintoul.
Vancouver police shot 38-year-old Daniel Peter Rintoul nine times after he stabbed a police officer in the parking lot of the Grandview Highway retailer in November 2016.
It was a day of different but similar descriptions of the events of the Nov. 10, 2016, incident.
The loss prevention officer described what he saw inside the store and the lead-up to when the first shots were fired.
Irfan Elahi told the corner’s inquest about Rintoul walking into the Canadian tire, using a can of bear spray, and assaulting employees behind the gun counter.
His testimony indicated he realized this was not a robbery but something much more serious when the suspect broke into the gun cabinet and tried to load weapons with ammunition.
He feared it could turn into a mass shooting event.
Elahi also explained how when Rintoul couldn’t manage to load any weapons, he then took a hostage and left the store.
