A public inquest into the police-involved shooting death of a Vancouver man begins Monday, more than three years after he was killed. One used a beanbag shotgun to try to disarm Du before the second officer shot him with a firearm. Officers had been responding to reports of a man waving a wooden two-by-four. In its report, the Criminal Justice Branch said the officer used his gun based on the belief that his partner's life was in danger. Du's family sued that officer as well as the City of Vancouver in late 2016.
