KAMLOOPS, B.C. — It's been almost two months since an RCMP officer was shot during a traffic stop in Kamloops, B.C., and now his wife says they're confident he'll overcome his substantial injuries.
Colleen Michaud says her husband, Cpl. Jean-Rene Michaud, was shot multiple times and critically wounded in a senseless and unforgivable act of violence.
She says her family has suffered a great deal and she is deeply saddened and angry that two more RCMP families are experiencing similar pain after Mounties were shot in Alberta.
The two officers were gunned down at a casino on Jan. 17, and 42-year-old Const. David Wynn later died of his injuries.
Michaud says her husband has endured many surgeries, countless complications and setbacks and has a long road to recovery, but he has shown courage and strength at every step.
She says she, their two young children and the rest of their family has received overwhelming support from across the country and that she's thankful for the encouragement and thoughtfulness.
