Hey there, time traveller!

DAAJING GIIDS – RCMP say a 32-year-old man has been charged with second-degree murder after allegedly using a vehicle to hit a pedestrian who later died from his injuries in Haida Gwaii, B.C.
Police say they received a report of an accident involving a pedestrian on Tuesday afternoon in the community of Skidegate.
They say a vehicle hit a person who later died from his injuries.
Police say they believe the death was a targeted attack and there was no risk to the public.
Sgt. Chris Manseau, the detachment commander in Daajing Giids, says police have been made aware of several social media posts that question the investigation’s timeline, but officers have been working around the clock to gather evidence and speak to witnesses.
Manseau says that while an arrest is a milestone in any investigation, charge approval is always the ultimate goal and police need to take the time to ensure a successful prosecution.
Police say the investigation is ongoing and a bail hearing was to be held later Friday.
