Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is looking into the use of an anti-riot weapon by police officers during a call in Whitby.

Durham Regional Police were called Saturday night around 6.40 p.m. to Dundas St. for reports of a person in crisis and located a woman near the Whitby Public Library.


After an interaction with the police, an officer fired a plastic bullet at her from his ARWEN gun.

The woman was not seriously injured but was taken to hospital for an assessment.

The ARWEN — Anti-Riot Weapon Enfield — fires plastic bullets at a speed of 50 metres to 75 metres per second, and while the projectiles are usually less lethal than live ammunition, they can cause serious blunt-force trauma or death.

The weapon has an ugly history, having been developed for use by the British armed forces for crowd control in Northern Ireland at the height of the Troubles in the 1970s. In the end, the British military declined to use the weapon.

ARWEN and similar weapons are used for crowd control and against rioters.

There has been an outcry against plastic bullets and so-called baton rounds for decades and the use of projectiles has been controversial since the mid-1980s.

The gunman who killed eight workers at an Indianapolis FedEx facility appeared to browse white supremacist websites about a year before the attack, police said.

The attacker, Brandon Hole, also killed himself in last Thursday’s attack, and four of his victims were members of the Sikh religious community.


In March 2020, Hole’s family asked police to intervene when he purchased a gun and threatened to commit suicide.

“I am going to point this unloaded gun at the police and they will shoot me,” he told his mother, according to Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s incident report.

When the police arrived at their home, one of the officers said he had noticed that Hole had white supremacist websites opened on his computer.


The police report said an officer “clearing the upstairs and securing the shotgun observed what through his training and experience indicated was white supremacist websites.”

Police then seized Hole’s gun, and he was sent to a local hospital for mental health assessment.

Police had said previously that Hole legally bought two semiautomatic rifles used during last week’s shooting, months after he had been in psychiatric detention.

Authorities are continuing to investigate the incident and Hole’s motivation.


A trace by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives turned up the two legal purchases last July and September by Hole, 19, a former employee at the FedEx facility.

Prosecutors had not used Indiana’s red-flag law, intended to prevent people from buying or possessing firearms if they are found to be an imminent risk to themselves or others, since Hole had surrendered the gun and there had been no overt violent act, said Ryan Mears, prosecutor for Marion County, which includes Indianapolis.

Mears said gaps in the red-flag law in effect negated efforts to keep guns out of shooters’ hands, Fox-affiliated television station Fox 59 reported.

Ohio man admits murdering ex and her family
'I am guilty, your honour'

“I am guilty, your honour.”

That’s all 28-year-old Edward “Jake” Wagner had to say Thursday as he admitted guilt in the grisly murders of his ex-partner and seven of her family members on the fifth anniversary of the bloody crime.


According to CBS News, Wagner pleaded guilty to 23 charges, which include eight counts of murder. Wagner pleaded guilty in a deal with prosecutors that would spare him from a death sentence.

Wagner will serve eight life sentences with no chance of parole, FOX19 reported.

George Billy Wagner III, Angela Wagner and their son George Billy Wagner IV have pleaded not guilty in their alleged roles in the murders.

In April 2016, eight members of the Rhoden family were found dead in three trailers and a camper near Piketon, Ohio.

The victims include Christopher Rhoden Sr., 40; his ex-wife, Dana Rhoden, 37; and their three children — Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden, 20, Christopher Jr., 16, and 19-year-old Hanna, Wagner’s ex and the mother of his child; Clarence Rhoden’s fiancée, 20-year-old Hannah Gilley; Christopher Rhoden Sr.’s brother, 44-year-old Kenneth Rhoden; and a cousin, 38-year-old Gary Rhoden.

During a Thursday court appearance, prosecutor Angela Canepa said Wagner admitted he was personally responsible for five of the deaths and talked about what happened the morning of the murders along with info that led authorities to additional evidence.

Wagner admitted he was “deeply and very sorry” for what he’s done, with his attorney Gregory Meyers stating the man “knows he’s going to die in prison without any judicial release.”


“As horrifying as this is for all, he is as sorry as he could be,” said Meyers.

Wagner and Hanna Rhoden began dating when she was 13 and she became pregnant at 15, according to Canepa.

Prosecutors argued the murder was motivated by a custody dispute and that it had been planned for months by the Wagner family. Wagner reportedly tried to convince Hanna to agree to shared custody of their daughter but was refused, CBS News reported.

FOX 19 reported members of the Rhoden family were shot multiple times in the head while they slept.

The horrific killings are considered Ohio’s largest and most complex homicide case to date, yielding more than 1,000 tips, hundreds of interviews and dozens of search warrants, authorities say.

LILLEY: Evidence shows Mounties kept a copy of the gun registry

When criminal defence lawyer Ed Burlew was sifting through the documents sent over by a Crown prosecutor regarding his client, one jumped out. It was proof that the RCMP had kept a copy of the gun registry despite Parliament ordering it destroyed in 2012.

The long-gun registry was brought into being in 1995 with Bill C-68 but was done away with after the passage of Bill C-19 in 2012.


Yet, here was Burlew looking at a document from 2019 with information that could only have come from the registry.

“I was shocked and disgusted,” Burlew told me. “They kept it, it’s a secret file.”

“This shows that there is someone within the RCMP who has deliberately lied to Parliament and the courts.”

The document that Burlew uncovered was prepared by the Registrar of Firearms, part of the RCMP, and sent to the OPP for a case they were working on.

That document contains not only the serial number of each firearm seized but also the Firearm Identification Number, a number that would not exist or be attached to the rifles and shotguns seized without a copy of the registry existing.

Burlew’s client, who is presumed innocent unless convicted when he has his day in court, purchased the guns legally years ago while the registry was still in place.


Speaking with lawyers and others active in this area of the criminal justice system, I hear time and again that people are not shocked that the RCMP has kept information that was ordered destroyed by Parliament.

One security expert who works with both police and defence lawyers on sensitive files, and asked not to be identified, said that he believes most major police forces in Canada kept a copy of the registry in one way or another and use it regularly.

Defence lawyer William Jaska said that these types of documents were showing up in cases shortly after the registry was ordered abolished, but he hasn’t seen this in years.

What bothers him, though, is that the RCMP, OPP and the Crown prosecutor’s office all handled this document before handing it over to Burlew during disclosure.

“This has gone through three levels of filters and is still being disseminated,” Jaska said. “The problem is that in 2019, this information should not be there.”

Tony Bernardo, executive director of the Canadian Shooting Sports Association — an organization that speaks out for Canada’s more than two million legal gun owners — said he’s also disturbed that police services in Canada are passing around information Parliament ordered destroyed nine years ago.

“I was outraged that a federal Crown agency would disobey their political masters,” Bernardo said when asked about the document.

“The keeping of these records was calculated and a premeditated act designed to contravene the will of Parliament.”

The RCMP did not respond to requests for comment via phone or email.

This isn’t the first time that gun advocates have suspected that police were using what really amounts to illegal gun registry data. During the 2013 floods in High River, Alta., RCMP officers went house to house seizing guns from locked but evacuated homes.

They smashed down doors to seize the firearms and there was clear evidence of coordination and targeting homes they knew belonged to gun owners but no clear evidence was produced.

The federal government should immediately order all copies and all records related to the registry destroyed as per the will of Parliament, writes Brian Lilley.

Given that neither Prime Minister Justin Trudeau nor Public Safety Minister Bill Blair are at all concerned with the rights of law-abiding gun owners, that’s unlikely to happen.

Yet, regardless of your position on guns, every Canadian should be concerned when a police force actively subverts the laws they are sworn to uphold.

My father always said never trust a cop.

And yet it isn't really surprising that they kept a record of registered firearms, how did the Gov. know whom to send the letters that required them to turn in their newly banned firearms.

Every firearm has a record of whom purchased it at firearm dealerships, and has to be made available to the RCMP upon request.

HOLLY SHIT!!! YOU GUYS REGISTER YOUR FIREARMS WITH THE GOVERNMENT???

That's your biggest mistake, they can't request guns if they don't know what you own..

You need a firearms license to buy ammunition doncha no
I used to go buy ammo for a friend who had a farm but had never needed a firearms license before the new laws
I don't do target shooting anymore but I renew my license regularly anyways just because i can!
