18 year old Shadron Gillett limped backwards into court, on crutches and with a cast around his foot today. The teenager is charged for the October 15th murder of 36 year old Kevin Thomas. A special constable shot him in the foot - allegedly as he ran from the scene where Thomas had been shot multiple times, including one to the head. Gillett allegedly dropped a firearm as he ran.
So, as soon as he got out of the hospital, he was sent to court today before Chief Magistrate, Sharon Fraser, where he was also charged with aggravated assault and kept firearm and ammunition without a gun license. No plea was taken and he was remanded until December 20th.
