Criminal charges are not being recommended by the provincial police watchdog agency against the Ridge Meadows RCMP officer who shot and killed a mental health patient in his Maple Ridge home last summer.

The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) released its report on the shooting Thursday (Sept. 24). It states taht Kyaw Din, 54, was violent toward police officers during the Aug. 11, 2019 incident, justifying the use of force.
