A Calgary police officer has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder following a fatal shooting that occurred in May 2023. The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) began investigating the incident after the officer shot at a van's occupants on Memorial Drive following a slow-speed pursuit. Two people were struck and later died.

ASIRT reviewed the incident and, based on the evidence gathered, forwarded the case to the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service (ACPS) to determine whether it met the threshold for criminal charges. The ACPS advised that the evidence supported prosecution, and ASIRT's assistant executive director Matthew Block approved the charges.

On Monday, Const. Craig Stothard was formally charged. He appeared in the Calgary Court of King's Bench the following day and was released on conditions. ASIRT, which investigates incidents involving police that result in serious injury or death, has stated it will not release further information while the case is before the courts.
