Killed 'over nothing'
Single father, 40, dies of gunshot wounds in a Saint Thomas pub
Saint Thomas -- One minute yesterday morning, Robert
THORPE
Jr.
was sitting in a downtown bar here with an acquaintance.
The next, he was dead of gunshot wounds and the man suspected
in his shooting was himself shot by police.
"It (the shooting) was over nothing," a grieving Carol
THORPE
said of the fatal shooting of her 40-year-old son, Robert, in
the Manx Arms Restaurant and Pub on Talbot Street, a lunchtime
hangout for the city's downtown business crowd.
Carol THORPE said her son, a single dad who lived for his nine-year-old
daughter, Hailey, was shot "six or seven times."
THORPE's shooting was the first homicide in Saint Thomas in 13
years.
Saint
Thomas police said yesterday
THORPE was shot just before
1 a.m. He was taken to hospital, where he died.
A man police say is a suspect, Nelson
MERRIT, 33, of 348 Wellington
Street, was shot and wounded minutes later by two Saint Thomas police
officers in a nearby parking lot. The province's Special Investigations
Unit is investigating
MERRIT's shooting, while Saint Thomas police
are in charge of the homicide probe.
Rose BLISS of Special Investigations Unit said two officers fired
at MERRIT, who was taken to hospital in London with non-life-
threatening injuries.
He has not been charged.
BLISS said last night
MERRIT would be turned over to Saint Thomas
police when released from hospital.
BLISS would not say how many
shots were fired by police or if the suspect exchanged gunfire
with the officers. She also would not say if a weapon was found.
THORPE was described by his mother as a "brilliant kid."
Carol THORPE said her son was a tool-and-die maker at the Timken
plant in Saint Thomas, where he had worked for more than 20 years.
She said he also had a boat in Port Stanley and loved fishing
with his daughter. She said her son was divorced and had custody
of his daughter, who now is staying with her other grandparents.
"He spent many, many hours with his daughter," Carol
THORPE said.
"He was her world and she was his life. He did so many things
with her. He built her a go-kart. You name it and she had it."
THORPE said her son was a handyman and had gutted and fixed up
old homes in Saint Thomas, one of which he lived in.
Crime tape surrounded the front and back entrances of the Manx
Arms yesterday.
Saint Thomas residents interviewed yesterday didn't know there
had been a shooting.
"I didn't have a clue what happened," said a woman who lives
in a rear apartment unit above the bar. "I didn't hear a thing
when I was asleep."
Donny BURT, another apartment dweller, said he was up until 3
a.m., but didn't hear anything.
He called THORPE's shooting isolated, saying people don't usually
pull out guns in Saint Thomas.
The operator of a nearby business said the shootings underscore
the dangers of bar life -- even in Saint Thomas.
"I tell my son all the time you never know what will happen in
a bar. I tell him to keep his mouth shut because somebody always
wants to fight."
Saint
Thomas police Const. Glenn
HODGSON said police were called
to the Manx Arms at 12: 50 a.m. but wouldn't say what happened
in the bar before the shooting.
He said police couldn't comment further because they're prohibited
from discussing cases in which the Special Investigations Unit
is involved.
The bar's management could not be reached for comment.
The Special Investigations Unit, a civilian agency, investigates
circumstances involving police and civilians that have resulted
in serious injury, sexual assault or death.
BLISS said seven investigators have been assigned to yesterday's
shooting.
The last homicide in Saint Thomas involved a husband and wife.
Soodarsan BAJRANGIE-
SINGH, then 62, was convicted in 1996 of
the second-degree murder of his wife, Madeen
SINGH, then 58.
She was shot 13 times in the backyard of their Centre Street
home. SINGH was sentenced to life in prison.
Saint Thomas police were last involved in a shooting in 1985, when
two city police officers shot Gary
STEVENSON, 36, in his backyard
on Churchill Street after he pointed a gun at them.

Arrested man dies in hospital
The Special Investigations Unit is probing the arrest of martial
artist Mitchell
KOH.
By Patrick
MALONEY, Free Press Reporter, Fri., September 22,
An accomplished martial artist and aspiring actor who was hospitalized
after he was arrested by London police has died.
Mitchell KOH, 34, died Wednesday, the Special Investigations
Unit, Ontario's police watchdog agency, announced yesterday.
The London man was taken to Victoria Hospital with critical injuries
after being arrested September 12.
"The focus remains the same," said Rose
BLISS, a spokesperson
with the Special Investigations Unit, which launched its probe
into the incident last week. "And that is to gather the facts
and come to an understanding… of what is now a death."
A post-mortem is scheduled for today.
London police were called about 6 a.m. September 12 to a 7-Eleven
store on Southdale Road where a man was "acting strangely," the
Special Investigations Unit said. He was reportedly carrying
two knives.
Three officers were involved in an "altercation" with the man,
who then showed signs of what the Special Investigations Unit
termed medical distress. He was taken to hospital, where he remained
in critical condition for more than a week.
London police declined comment on the case last week, citing
the Special Investigations Unit investigation.
The owner of a London martial arts studio yesterday recalled
KOH, who often trained there, as a friendly, quiet person with
a black belt in taekwondo.
"He was very friendly, very respectful," said Issam
THABIT, who
owns Integrity Taekwondo and learned of the death from
KOH's
family yesterday. "Everybody liked him, (but) at the same time
he was very quiet. He just comes in, trains."
Though his sister declined comment yesterday, according to an
online biography,
KOH attained his black belt five years ago.
He listed "information technology" as his occupation.
He also worked in films, playing the role of an assassin in the
1996 movie Expect No Mercy, starring well-known martial artist
Billy Blanks. He also had an uncredited part in the film Serendipity.
The online profile also included a personal quote: "Learning
to love yourself is the greatest love of all," it read.
The Special Investigations Unit is a provincial agency that investigates
whenever police are involved in incidents that cause serious
injury or death to civilians.
Two other incidents sparked Special Investigations Unit probes
in London this year: the arrest of a man on July 1 and a van
crash May 6 in which four people were hurt.
In both cases, London police were cleared of any wrongdoing.

Bricklayer dead after shootout
Ontario's police watchdog is investigating the death of Andrew
SCHUSTER of London.
By John HERBERT, Free Press Reporter, Tues., October 31, 2006
Andrew SCHUSTER, a bricklayer described as "polite and always
smiling," was found shot dead Sunday -- the day he would have
celebrated his 44th birthday -- after a shootout with London
police.
Ontario's Special Investigations Unit, probing the deadly standoff
which began Saturday night and ended Sunday, yesterday wouldn't
confirm SCHUSTER was the dead man who exchanged gunfire with
police for about half an hour.
But several sources said
SCHUSTER lived at 613 Cheapside Street,
and that he was the man found dead. His name was listed on the
mailbox.
The man's identity may be confirmed after an autopsy is completed
today or tomorrow, said Special Investigations Unit representative
Rose BLISS.
Neither police nor the Special Investigations Unit have commented
on what began as a domestic-dispute call to police Saturday at
6: 30 p.m.
At 5: 30 a.m. Sunday, police found
SCHUSTER dead inside the home.
The Special Investigations Unit hasn't determined whether he
died from police bullets or a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
There was little doubt in the neighbourhood who was the victim
in the deadly shootout.
"He lived there and every day Andrew was in my store buying Players
Light cigarettes," said Elvira
BERKOVSKI, who operates a kiosk
at a nearby service station.
"He helped my son get some summer work. I think he was in construction
work. Sometimes you see people happy, then unhappy the next day.
Not him. He was always smiling and polite.
Special
Investigations
Unit investigator Reg
McKEEN said four
forensic officers were trying to determine the bullet that killed
SCHUSTER.
"That's what my people are trying to establish, if it was a police
bullet or not,"
McKEEN said. "We'll be present (in London) to
establish a cause and manner of death."
McKEEN wouldn't say if a weapon had been recovered.
London police couldn't comment since the investigation is now
in the Special Investigations Unit's hands.
It's the 11th time this year that the Special Investigations
Unit has taken over a London police investigation.
During the standoff, police drove a light armoured vehicle onto
the front lawn of the home in which the man was barricaded.
Neighbours said police used it as a shield when gunfire erupted.
It was the first time the force had used the vehicle, given to
it a year ago by defence contractor General Dynamics, said London
police Const. Amanda Pfeffer.
Chronology Of The Death Of Andrew
SCHUSTER
Saturday
6: 30 p.m.: Police respond to a domestic dispute at 613 Cheapside
Street, just east of Adelaide Street, and find a man barricaded
alone in the home.
7-10: 20 p.m.: Police negotiate with a man inside.
10: 20 p.m.: Police and the man inside exchange gunfire for about
a half hour.
10: 50 p.m.: Negotiations resume.
Sunday
5: 30 a.m.: Police find a man inside the house dead from a gunshot
wound.
6: 05 a.m.: Ontario's police watchdog agency, the Special Investigations
Unit, is called in by London police. The Special Investigations
Unit reviews police handling of cases involving death or serious
injury.
Yesterday
With police guarding the crime scene, four Special Investigations
Unit forensic investigators search for evidence at the home to
help determine whether the man died from a police bullet or a
self-inflicted gunshot.
Today
Special Investigations Unit will attend the man's autopsy in
London.

Shot teen had meek side
By Steve RENNIE,
Staff
Reporter with files from John
DUNCANSON
Duane CHRISTIAN was no saint. But the 15-year-old boy shot by
a Toronto police officer this week had a meek side, one that
made him reluctant to go down into his aunt's basement because
he was afraid of her cat.
It was this image that Delores
RICKETTS, a cousin of
CHRISTIAN's
mother Simone
WELLINGTON, couldn't get out of her mind yesterday
as she spoke about the teen's death on Tuesday after he was spotted
driving a stolen van.
Two officers patrolling the Scarborough Golf Club Rd. area saw
the white Dodge Caravan just before 5 a.m.
The pair chased the van and tried to corner it in the parking
lot of the Royaltown apartment building, at the corner of Lawrence
Ave. E. and Scarborough Golf Club Rd.
"If you're afraid of a little cat, how can you get caught up
doing all these wrong things?" said
RICKETTS, describing how
CHRISTIAN would sometimes stay at her Scarborough home when his
mother couldn't handle him.
"When he misbehaved, I'd take him here for a while to see if
I could make something out of him,"
RICKETTS said. "Their lifestyles
were a bit different from mine."
She said
CHRISTIAN would act up and show off when he was with
his Friends, but was a different person when he was alone.
Since he loved cars,
RICKETTS thought he would wind up working
at a dealership one day.
RICKETTS said
CHRISTIAN had been trying to contact his father,
whom he had never met. She remembered watching him make calls
during one of his visits and becoming angry when he couldn't
reach him.
"He tried. He tried to be accepted," she said.
Despite his troubled past, relatives came to
CHRISTIAN's defence
yesterday saying police overreacted when they shot and killed
the teen.
"They're not heroes, they're murderers," said Monique
CRAIG,
CHRISTIAN's 18-year-old cousin.
"They didn't have to shoot him. He didn't have no weapon."
The portrait that emerged from Friends and family is that of
a troubled teen who had bounced from school to school.
He had several youth convictions, including robbery.
CRAIG said
CHRISTIAN lived with a long-time friend for a time
after his mother kicked him out of the house a few years ago.
He had recently been living with his grandparents, Roy and Mori
WELLINGTON, in the Royaltown apartment building.
The apartment superintendent said only that
CHRISTIAN's grandparents
lived in the building, not the teen or his mother.
Several neighbours of
CHRISTIAN's grandparents said the family
was quiet and mostly kept to themselves.
Sahra AHMED, who has lived in the building for eight years, said
she didn't know the family well but never noticed anything out
of the ordinary.
"I'd see them in the hall sometimes and they seemed like a nice
family."
Special Investigations Unit investigators returned to the shooting
scene yesterday to take more photos as they piece together what
led to the fatal shooting.
More canvasses of area buildings are also being done as investigators
try to find witnesses: to the shooting.
An autopsy has been performed on the 15-year-old, but the Special
Investigations Unit is withholding that information until they
talk further with the family of the dead youth, said Rose
BLISS,
the Special Investigations Unit spokesperson.
Police sources indicated the officer fired into the passenger
side of the stolen white Dodge Caravan when the driver tried
to run down his partner.
Under the law, officers must feel there is an imminent danger
to themselves or others if they are discharge their weapon.
Funeral arrangements have yet to be made, the family said yesterday.
