“Definitely we are very concerned for his survival,” Marlin Degrand, criminal operations officer with the RCMP in Alberta, said of Const. David Matthew Wynn, 42.

Wynn, who joined the RCMP in 2009, remains in grave condition in hospital. Degrand said Wynn was hit by one bullet but did not specify where in his body he was struck.

The second wounded officer is auxiliary Const. Derek Walter Bond, 49, who has worked as a volunteer with the RCMP since 2008. Bond was in serious but stable condition in hospital, and was released from hospital Saturday evening, RCMP said. Bond is an auxiliary officer, meaning he was unarmed.
