B.C. man in ICU, shot twice in the head after police chase involving stolen mini-loader

Davin Cochrane, 31, was admitted to the intensive care unit of a Victoria hospital

The fianc茅e of a distressed man is questioning how her partner ended up shot twice in the head by North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP on Tuesday night.

Davin Cochrane, 31, was admitted to the intensive care unit of a Victoria hospital clinging to life following a bizarre incident involving a skid steer he allegedly stole and drove recklessly around a North Cowichan neighbourhood Tuesday, March 28.

Sarah Annie Brown said authorities haven91裸聊视频檛 told her much except that her fianc茅 had reportedly been in a car accident earlier in the day and was due for surgery at Cowichan District Hospital but that somehow he had managed to leave the hospital and acquire the construction machine.

91裸聊视频淚 don91裸聊视频檛 understand what was going through his head,91裸聊视频 Brown said Wednesday morning. 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 not a normal person thing to do.91裸聊视频

Ashara Prokop watched some of the incident unfold from her front window.

91裸聊视频淲e just were sitting on the couch when we heard a large bobcat go by our road with the bucket scraping the road then saw a cop with his lights on go after him followed by the police truck,91裸聊视频 said Prokop.

Witnesses reported no fewer than five police vehicles attempting to stop the skid steer machine in the Somenos Road, Glacier Street, Hawkes Bouvelard and Evans Park areas.

91裸聊视频淲e heard six shots fired,91裸聊视频 Prokop said. 91裸聊视频淚t was shocking to hear.91裸聊视频

Brown said she91裸聊视频檚 been told officers fired six shots, with two of them hitting Cochrane91裸聊视频檚 head.

91裸聊视频淗e91裸聊视频檚 on life support,91裸聊视频 Brown said. 91裸聊视频淭hey had to remove a large part of his brain to stop the bleeding.91裸聊视频

Police said the incident occured around 9:15 p.m. March 28 when 91裸聊视频淩CMP received a report of a man who appeared impaired driving a track loader skid-steer down a residential street91裸聊视频.

BC RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Alex B茅rub茅 said 91裸聊视频渙fficers attended and attempted to get the driver to stop, but there were collisions between the loader and police vehicles.

91裸聊视频淒uring the interaction that followed, one officer discharged their weapon striking the driver. Emergency Health Services were called and the man was transported to hospital with serious injuries.91裸聊视频

An independent investigation will take place.

91裸聊视频淭he IIO has commenced an investigation, and initial investigative steps will seek to confirm the details of the interaction between the man and police,91裸聊视频 said a press release issued by the Independent Investigations Office of B.C.

The IIO is the independent civilian oversight agency of the police in B.C. It investigates all officer-related incidents that result in serious harm or death, whether or not there is any allegation of wrongdoing.

91裸聊视频淭he IIO is asking any person with relevant information or dashcam or other video footage of the incident to please contact the Witness Line toll-free at 1-855-446-8477 or via the contact form on the 飞别产蝉颈迟别.91裸聊视频

Brown said she doesn91裸聊视频檛 understand why things went so wrong. She said she91裸聊视频檇 last heard from Cochrane on March 27 on the anniversary of them losing a baby and his grandmother. He had been struggling mentally and had left the couple91裸聊视频檚 home to stay with his sister for a while so he could keep his mental health battle away from the kids in their home.

91裸聊视频淗e was extremely upset and definitely going through something,91裸聊视频 Brown said. 91裸聊视频淗e does have some mental heath issues. He was not acting like himself,91裸聊视频 she continued. 91裸聊视频淗e wasn91裸聊视频檛 in the right state of mind at all. I don91裸聊视频檛 know if he relapsed, he91裸聊视频檇 been doing extremely well for three years. He was acting really strange.91裸聊视频

Brown wondered if the medication he was given following his crash earlier in the day had interacted with his other medications.

91裸聊视频淗e was acting erratic,91裸聊视频 she said. 91裸聊视频淭hey gave him ketamine. He got out somehow. I don91裸聊视频檛 even know how he left the hospital in that state.91裸聊视频

She also wondered by nobody called her when he was taken to the hospital following the accident earlier in the day.

91裸聊视频淚 would have gone. I could have been there.91裸聊视频

Instead of being at CDH in a surgical ward following a car accident, Brown is in a Victoria hospital praying her fianc茅 will survive being shot.

91裸聊视频淗e has a history [with police],91裸聊视频 she said.

91裸聊视频淚 don91裸聊视频檛 know if they judged him because of his history. Why couldn91裸聊视频檛 they have tried something else?91裸聊视频

Cochrane91裸聊视频檚 32nd birthday is about a week away and the pair had been looking forward to their future with their 10-week-old daughter and the rest of the kids.

91裸聊视频淎ll he ever wanted to do was have a child so it seemed really odd what he was doing,91裸聊视频 she said. 91裸聊视频淗e91裸聊视频檚 an amazing dad. He91裸聊视频檚 all about the kids. None of it makes sense. I don91裸聊视频檛 have any answers.91裸聊视频
