A celebration of the life of former Ottawa Police Sgt. Robin Easey was held at the Hellenic Community Centre in Ottawa, Oct. 28, 2023. Easey survived being shot while responding to a robbery in 1984, but lived with health and mobility issues the rest of his life. He passed away this month at the age of 70.
"I knew Robin a little while before the actual shooting. We were on the same platoon," said Erfle, now a retired superintendent of the Ottawa Police Service."He was always extremely helpful to all of his colleagues, which is one of the reasons he got involved in the shooting that day, volunteering to take the call because he was in close proximity to it. I volunteered to back him up.""That's a fairly routine call.
Since then, Easey went on to become a champion for rehabilitation and support for people with traumatic brain injuries and police officers who have been involved in shootings. The support group Robin's Blue Circle, founded in 1988, was named after him, as was the Ottawa Hospital's Maine's governor says the suspect wanted for killing 18 people at a bowling alley and bar has been found dead in Lisbon, Maine.Video shows dramatic crash on Toronto highway that got driver jail time
