A Calgary judge reduces charges for two men accused in a fatal roadside shooting in Rocky View County in August 2024. According to both outlets, the judge acquits the two men of attempted murder. While the attempted-murder charges are withdrawn, the men remain subject to multiple other charges tied to the incident. These charges include second degree murder. The case relates to a shooting that results in at least one death, and the proceedings continue despite the judge’s decision to lower the attempted-murder allegations. The reports do not indicate a final disposition on the remaining charges, and the matter is expected to proceed based on the other offences still before the court. The judge’s ruling therefore narrows what the prosecution must prove for the attempted-murder count, but it does not end the prosecution’s broader case involving serious charges connected to the fatal shooting.
