SURREY, B.C. The man who shot and injured a Metro Vancouver Transit Police officer at a Surrey SkyTrain station says he is remorseful for his actions. Daon Glasgow, 37, addressed the court to offer his apology at his sentencing hearing, which began Friday. The shooting happened on Jan. 30, 2019, during rush hour on the platform at Scott Road SkyTrain station. The court heard how Glasgow had violated his parole and was unlawfully at large for his involvement in an armed robbery at a Vancouver cannabis dispensary just three days earlier. His lawyer, Bill Jessop, explained that may have resulted in him making a spontaneous and impulsive decision to shoot at Const. Joshua Harms and the other transit police officer in an attempt to avoid arrest.
