Summary

Students at Surrey’s Clayton Heights Secondary are receiving grief counselling after learning police shot an autistic Grade 10 classmate dead on Sunday. Family members say the 15-year-old was not suicidal and not carrying a real gun despite what officers believed when they opened fire. The Independent Investigations Office continues to look into the actions of police - standard protocol when any person is injured or dies.
