PRINCE GEORGE — A hearing into the 2014 shooting death of John Buehler has wrapped up in Prince George.

In September 2014, John Buehler was shot and killed by police following a 10-day stand off at a trappers cabin near Valemount.

Police say he turned his rifle on officers and they opened fire where his 21-year-old daughter was also shot three times.

The BC Coroner’s jury made seven recommendations – including more officers on the north district emergency response team and that they have better, more high-tech, equipment.
