No charge for officer in stolen gun case

A Mountie won’t be charged after his gun was stolen and used to shoot a 16-year-old girl.

Calli Vanderaa was shot in a car outside a Winnipeg convenience store in October 2015. The gun used in the shooting was stolen from an off-duty RCMP officer’s cruiser.

Court documents say the officer’s gun was taken after one or more men entered the officer’s home without permission and took the keys to his vehicle.

Police said Vanderaa’s lung and spleen was pierced by the bullet but she survived. Two men were charged in the shooting and face multiple charges, including attempted murder, weapons and theft charges
