from the National Post:

Three Halton police constables have been charged with assaulting a 79-year-old retired teacher who was shot with a rubber bullet and tasered during an arrest in Oakville last fall. Gerry Morgan died in May, six months after he was arrested at a Marine Drive home at 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 25, 2006. A woman who identified herself as his daughter answered the phone at Mr. Morgan's home yesterday: "My dad was a wonderful man." She said her father had four children-- two daughters and two sons --and taught at teacher's college and was a consultant with the Halton and Dufferin-Peel Catholic school boards. Mr. Morgan was arrested after Halton Regional Police Services responded to a call for assistance. "While inside the home, officers employed use of force weapons," the Special Investigations Unit said in a statement yesterday. "They discharged an ARWEN (Anti Riot Weapon Enfield) weapon and as a result, Gerry Morgan was struck once with a projectile made of rubber-like material and the allegation is that he suffered a serious injury to his upper arm. Officers also used a TASER device on Mr. Morgan and the allegation is that when he fell to the floor, Mr. Morgan suffered a broken hip." The trio will appear in court on May 28.
