Mayerthorpe Shooting
It was the worst massacre of RCMP officers in
Canadian history and sent waves of shock and grief across the country.
The incident began after a bailiff conducting a property seizure discovered a marijuana grow
operation along with stolen auto parts. Roszko had been seen leaving the property 18 hours before
the shooting. He managed to sneak back onto the farm undetected. Roszko was notorious in the
Mayerthorpe area for intimidating residents with threats and acts of violence, and for being in
trouble with the law.
