A Niagara-area police officer has been charged with attempted murder, after another officer was shot at a rural crossroads in November. Shane Donovan of the Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS) also faces charges of aggravated assault and assault with a weapon. Ontario's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) laid the charges Thursday, four months after a puzzling and high-profile shooting in rural Pelham, Ont., a community about 20 kilometres west of Niagara Falls. Nathan Parker, right, was seriously injured in the shooting and airlifted to Hamilton General Hospital. The SIU investigates whenever there are reports involving police where there has been a death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
