“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.

The call was for a man was behaving strangely. Officers said Heffernan was standing near the beds with a lighter and a syringe and did not obey commands to drop them.
