The Burnaby RCMP officer killed in the line of duty Tuesday has been identified as a 31-year-old member of the detachment's mental health and homeless outreach team, just three years into her career.
Const. Shaelyn Yang was fatally stabbed while partnered with a Burnaby bylaw officer and attending a homeless campsite at Broadview Park just before 11 a.m.
Dept. Commissioner Dwayne McDonald said Yang was stabbed following an "altercation" during the call, and that despite the efforts of first responders she did not survive.
The suspect was shot in the altercation, and remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries, he added.
