Questions are still swirling around the Brampton courthouse shooting, even as final rites were performed for Charnjit Bassi.
Since the Special Investigations Unit invoked its mandate, few details have been released about the incident, including why Bassi, 45, was at the courthouse last Friday, how the exchange of gunfire actually occurred, what the motive might have been and how many times Bassi and Const. Mike Klarenbeek were shot.
Longtime friend Jaswinder Khosa helped wash Bassi’s body, as is Sikh custom, before it was dressed for Thursday’s funeral. He said he saw what he believed to be four gunshot wounds in Bassi’s upper body, including a wound behind his right ear.
“Family and everybody wants to see what happened, how he got shot,” Khosa said.
The confrontation with Peel Regional Police last Friday at the A. Grenville and William Davis Courthouse killed Bassi and left Klarenbeek with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. According to preliminary information from the SIU, Bassi entered the courthouse and shot Klarenbeek before police struck him down.
Klarenbeek was still recovering in hospital Thursday, said Peel Regional Police Association president Wayne Omardeen. The union boss said Klarenbeek was not yet comfortable about speaking publicly.
