Saskatchewan Mountie accused in shooting death was off-duty but in uniform: police
PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — Police in Saskatchewan say they are still trying to determine why a veteran officer allegedly finished his shift last week and, still wearing his uniform, shot and killed a man.
RCMP Cpl. Bernie Herman, 53, faces a charge of first-degree murder in Tuesday’s death of 26-year-old Braden Herman in Prince Albert.
Police have said the men knew each other for several years but were not related.
Insp. Craig Mushka with the Prince Albert Police Service said Bernie Herman, a member of the RCMP’s traffic unit in the city, phoned a colleague that day and “made disturbing comments that he had killed someone.”
