Saanich Police gather at Royal Jubilee Hospital as officer injured in shooting released

Several officers with the Saanich Police and the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team (GVERT) gathered at the hospital as a fellow member was released.

Today just after 2 pm, the members gathered outside an exit at the Royal Jubilee Hospital to warmly welcome one of the Saanich police officers who was seriously injured on June 28th during the armed confrontation at the BMO on Shelbourne Street.

"Today is very special, heartwarming, and inspirational as one of our injured officers is returning home where he can continue to heal and build his strength while being surrounded by his loving family," said Chief Cst. Dean Duthie.

One other officer injured in the shooting remains in hospital, and continues to progress in their recovery.

“We are so very grateful for the extraordinary care, compassion, and professionalism of the medical staff, nurses, doctors, and surgeons at RJH who assisted and guided the healing of our officer to this day,” Duthie added.
