Daon Gordon Glasgow, the suspect in the shooting of a Metro Vancouver transit police officer in Surrey, has now been charged.
Surrey RCMP say Glasgow, 35, has been charged with attempted murder using a restricted or prohibited firearm, discharging a restricted or prohibited firearm with intent to endanger life, intentionally discharging a firearm while being reckless to the life and safety of others, and unlawful possession of a loaded restricted or prohibited firearm.
Glasgow was wanted in connection with the shooting of transit police officer Josh Harms on Jan. 30, and was the subject of a manhunt for a number of days afterward.
He was arrested Feb. 3 by Surrey RCMP, with the assistance of the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team, Lower Mainland Integrated Police Dog Service, Air 1 and Burnaby RCMP in Burnaby at a residence on the corner of Boundary and Rumble.
Harms has since been released from hospital with injuries to his arms, and is expected to recover.
