RCMP officer charged with murder believed to have been wearing uniform at time of incident
A veteran Prince Albert RCMP officer charged with first-degree murder is believed to have been wearing his uniform at the time of the incident.
The news came as police released more details about the death of Braden Herman. Police said it appears the 26-year-old was shot near Little Red River Park in Prince Albert.
Prince Albert Police Service Insp. Craig Mushka told reporters Bernie Herman wasn’t on duty at the time of the incident, but left work in full uniform with his duty belt on the day it occurred, May 11.
“The weapon used in this offence cannot be confirmed at this time,” Mushka said. “However, the Prince Albert Police Service has seized Mr. Herman’s service pistol and other use of force equipment as part of the criminal investigation.”
