Wynn was shot while investigating a vehicle theft in the community just outside Edmonton on Jan. 17. Police said it was a routine licence plate check that led to 42-year-old Wynn being critically injured in a confrontation at the Apex Casino in St. Albert.

Wynn and Auxiliary Cst. Derek Bond, 49, had just identified a truck with licence plates that didn’t match registration, when 34-year-old Shawn Maxwell Rehn fired at the officers at close range. Wynn was shot in the head; Bond was hit in the arm and torso. Rehn’s body was later found at a nearby residence, dead of an apparent suicide.

Both officers were rushed to hospital, where Bond was released that night. Wynn never regained consciousness. His family made the decision to take him off life support last Monday. In a gut-wrenching news conference that night, his wife said the family was “saying their goodbyes.” Wynn died in hospital on Wednesday morning.
