La Loche survivor upset over media lockout at sentencing
A survivor of the 2016 La Loche school shooting is voicing frustration over media being locked out of a courthouse in the community for the sentencing of her attacker.
Substitute teacher Charlene Klyne was left blind after being shot at the Dene High School in La Loche on Jan. 22, 2016.
Klyne now lives in Saskatoon to attend doctor’s appointments, and chose not to make the six-hour drive north to hear whether the now-20-year-old shooter would be sentenced as a youth or an adult.
“I didn’t want to have people coming up to me and talking … because I can’t see who it is,” she said.
