    Two teenagers accused in the death of a Calgary police officer last week made brief court appearances this morning.

    A 17-year-old, who cannot be identified, and 19-year-old Amir Abdulrahman were charged with first-degree murder after the officer was killed while attempting a traffic stop on New Year's Eve.

    Sgt. Andrew Harnett had pulled over an SUV and was hit and dragged on the road when the vehicle took off.

    He died a short time later.

    A bail hearing for the 17-year-old alleged driver has been scheduled for Jan. 19.

    Abulrahman is next to to appear on Feb. 4 after his lawyer asked for time to review the evidence.
