A man who shot and injured two Winnipeg police officers during a drug raid in December 2006 has been denied parole by the Parole Board of Canada.

Daniell Ian Anderson was handed a 14-year prison sentence and lifetime weapons ban in 2009. He was 23 years old at the time of his sentencing.

Anderson was convicted of attempting to kill Const. Donald Murray and discharging a firearm with intent to injure Const. Curtis Penner.

Full parole this month was deemed "premature" by the Parole Board, despite his efforts to attend programming.

"Poor" institutional behaviour was noted in the documents, including three recent incidents. In January paper was found in Anderson's cell with methamphetamine residue, in February some of Anderson's mail contained traces of fentanyl and earlier this month paper was found in his cell with THC residue, said the documents.

Anderson reported to the Parole Board he was not expecting full parole this year because his institutional behaviour had been negative and he did not feel ready for release, said the documents. His family wanted him to apply so in the future he would know what to do to get released, they said.

At 30 years old, Anderson has "an almost non existent history of legitimate employment," and continues to struggle with substance abuse, the Parole Board noted.

According to the documents, Anderson feels "very badly" for the harm he caused his victims and the "trauma" he caused. One of the police officers shot by Anderson said his injuries have been "life altering" for both himself physically and his family and have limited his ability to work.

While in prison, Anderson has completed two rehabilitation programs, including a violence prevention program and a violence offender maintenance program.

Anderson was assessed as "engaged" in his correctional plan and is currently "participating in educational upgrading within the institution," said the Parole Board documents.
