"The mayor wants to know why".

"Our community is one where these types of things don't happen that often".

These people are masters of understatement. Of course the mayor wants to know why; now we all want to know why. And it's not like down the road in Guelph police officers shoot their colleagues every day. 

I liked how they admit that, when police shoot each other, there's a presumption that it was a "reasonable discharge", but when non-police shoot someone there is a presumption that it was not a reasonable discharge. Innocent until proven guilty, if you're police.
