David Lorne Glover was shot in the chest by Cpl. Glenn Magark on March 19, 1990, when police arrived at his doorstep to execute a warrant to search Glover's home for drugs. Glover sought damages from Magark for injuries caused by the gunshot wound. In her reasons for judgment, Madam Justice Marvyn Koenigsberg found no evidence of reckless conduct or gross negligence on the part of Magark. The police corporal had knocked on the door. Glover opened it and Magark shouted "police, get down," or "police, face down on the floor." Other officers at the door called out "police and "warrant." Glover had a TV remote control in his hand and did not comply with the commands. He was shot by Magark a few seconds after the police commands were given. Glover's case argued that Magark had acted recklessly and without justification. In earlier trial testimony Magark had said that Glover attacked him with the remote control. - --- MAP posted-by: Rich O'Grady
