A coroner's report into the death of a 17-year-old boy during a police operation in the Outaouais is denouncing the two officers involved, saying they staged a dangerous and unnecessary intervention. Maurice led officers on a chase at speeds up to 160 km/h, according to witnesses, but stopped on a forest road after about 10 kilometres. During a coroner's inquest, Fortier testified he felt unsafe at that point and had no choice but to open fire on the driver. No need for incidentA report in French by coroner Luc Malouin was released Feb. 25 and obtained by Radio-Canada. The provincial police force wouldn't comment Wednesday, saying they want to take the time to analyze the report before responding.
