Divers is one of 21 unarmed people who were shot and killed during encounters with police since 2000, according to a CBC News analysis. Of those who were killed and shot, 6.4 per cent were unarmed. Now a retired Ottawa police officer, Syd Gravel developed PTSD after shooting and killing an unarmed suspect in 1987. Fifteen-year-old Duane Christian was shot and killed by Toronto police in June of 2006 while he was behind the wheel of a stolen vehicle. That troubles Syd Gravel, who was cleared of any wrongdoing following his fatal encounter with an unarmed man.
