More Calgary police officers have shot and either killed or injured more civilians than in any other Canadian city in 2016, according to statistics gathered by CBC News. Montreal police could not say how many officer-involved shootings have taken place in the city this year because they do "not keep statistics on shootings." But a search of news stories from that city shows three Montreal police officers shot citizens in 2016, one fatally. The lawyer for a Calgary man, who was blinded after he was shot by police, says the number of police shootings in Calgary this year is troubling. Police attributed some of this year's shootings to an increase in vehicle thefts and the city's opioid crisis.
