Retired judge Wally Oppal, the adjudicator of a public hearing looking into the 2019 Christmas Day death of 43-year-old Lisa Rauch, found that the officer who shot and killed her using less-lethal #ARWEN rounds was not justified in his use of force.

The spring 2024 hearing, requested by Rauch's family, and done under an adjudicator appointed by B.C.'s #police #watchdog, looked at the evidence and circumstances that led to #VictoriaPolice Department officer Ron Kirkwood fatally shooting Rauch in the back of the head with three rounds of what is supposed to be non-lethal ammunition.
