You are tuned to the nighttime podcast focused on the fringe of Canada.

Hello listeners. For those of you who follow nighttime closely, you probably notice some reoccurring themes and issues that seem to work their way into many of the more tragic stories of covered.

One is the many gaping holes that the mentally ill can fall into.

Another is police conduct and accountability.

In the last is the way Canadian law often prevents the truth from being revealed to the loved ones, left in the wake of tragedy.

Tonight, we're going to hear a story which blends these three elements together into something as tragic as it is concerning.

In the early morning hours of July 25th, 2018, a 911 call was placed in Brom Lake, Quebec.

The caller reported witnessing a man in distress carrying a gun and shouting to himself.

When the police arrived on scene, it only took 61 seconds before one of the responding officers shot the young man holding the gun dead.

This 61 second police intervention in the events that lead up to and follow it? Well, that got a lot more thought and consideration.

The victim's mother, Tracy Wing, has made it her mission to hold the police accountable for what she and her many supporters believe to be the knee jerk, poorly planned, and unnecessary shooting death of her 17-year-old son, Riley Farahome.

And tonight, in this episode of nighttime, Tracy Wing will join us to share her son's story of mental illness, the 911 call, the police shooting, and her Odyssey to learn the truth about what happened that morning.

Our topic is going to be the death of 17-year-old Riley Farahome.

Fifteen months after their son was shot in the head by police, Riley Farahome's parents are still outraged.

I just feel that it was a mistake and yesterday we heard that it really wasn't a mistake.

You know, they shot him to kill him and it's a bit tough to hear.

Earlier this week, Quebec's Crown Prosecutors Office determined that the officer who shot Riley didn't break the law and therefore will not be charged.

The night he was killed, Riley called 911, and was waving a pellet gun when six police officers arrived.

His parents were surprised to hear that it took only one minute from the time police arrived on the scene to the moment their son was shot once from a distance of about 100 feet.

They wish officers had taken more time to try to talk him down.
