The jury in the coroner’s inquest into the death of Angus David Mitchell is recommending better communication between doctors and police when it comes to patients with mental health issues and access to firearms. Mitchell, 26, died May 30, 2012 after being shot multiple times in Maple Ridge by the RCMP’s Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team. At the time, the former security guard was a suspect in the double homicide at Royal Oak Sushi House in South Burnaby of the restaurant’s owner, 36-year-old Burnaby resident Huong (Andy) Tran, and a female employee, Chinh (Vivian) Diem Huynh, 34. He was also the suspect in the attempted murder of his 51-year-old former landlord who was shot in front of his Gilpin Crescent house. Police later confirmed the rifle seized from Mitchell was used in all three shootings. see ‘HIT LIST’, A9
