Two central Alberta RCMP officers who fatally shot a teenage boy after he called 911 won’t be charged, Alberta’s police watchdog has determined.

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) released its final report into the death of Hoss Lightning , 15, on Thursday.

The teen was from Samson Cree Nation, one of four First Nation communities that make up Maskwacis in central Alberta.

Lightning died in in the city of Wetaskiwin , which is just down the road from Maskwacis, about 70 km south of Edmonton.

Wetaskiwin RCMP officers responded around 12:30 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 30, 2024 , after receiving a 911 call from someone who said he was being followed by people who were trying to kill him after the teen reportedly threatened the Hell’s Angels.
