One year later, no answers for family of slain P.A. man
It has been more than a year since the Heffernan family lost their son in an incident with the Calgary Police Department (CPD), and now they’re turning to social media to raise awareness.
Michelle Kalke is a relative of Prince Albert-born Anthony Heffernan, who was shot in his hotel room by police on March 16, 2015. According to the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT), Heffernan was shot after failing to check out of his hotel room, and could not be subdued by tasers.
She said she considers Heffernan’s death “murder,” and she still has numerous questions about the incident.
“What kind of system is this?” Kalke asked. “It really feels that because it’s a CPD officer it’s gone this far and been drawn out.”
