When you enter the shop of a gunsmith, what the heck do you expect to see?' asks Kotanko family lawyer Hearing about Rodger being near guns wasn't unusual — he was a world-renowned gunsmith, known as one of the best in Canada and someone local police officers trusted to fix their firearms, according to people who knew him.... ...But hearing his brother was hurt had Jeffrey rushing to Rodger's home on Port Ryerse Road. By the time he arrived, Rodger was already dead — shot in his workshop next to his home, according to friends and family, and then taken...

Good lord, what a stupid, idiotic bunch that killed this poor fellow... I hope his family sues the PD into oblivion.

They probably entered dressed in all black, with black ski masks and guns drawn.

Ever notice when the police do something like this it is all hushed up in the news. Hmmm

There is quite a bit to read about this with a simple google search. The officer that fired the shot has 'lawyered up'. Me thinks he's going to take a hit.

The Toronto Police had a search warrant and assuming the Canadian procedure is similar to obtaining a search warramt as in the USA, there has to be some probable cause and particulars listed for the search warrant to be authorized.

Since that information hasn't been released we can only guess. Was a firearm he worked on used in a major crime? Was he somehow linked to a criminal group? I dunno.
