Hey there, time traveller!

A coroner’s inquest will be held into the death of a 22-year-old man who was shot by a police officer in Kingston, Ont., more than six years ago.
Dr. Armita Rahmani, the supervising coroner for the region that includes Kingston, says the inquest will examine the circumstances surrounding the death of Evan Freeman.
Freeman died on Sept.12, 2019, after he was shot by a police officer who attempted to arrest him.
Ontario’s police watchdog has said the incident occurred after police encountered a man assaulting another person.
The Special Investigations Unit later concluded that no criminal charges would be laid against the officer who shot Freeman.
The coroner’s inquest jury may make recommendations aimed at preventing further deaths, and a date for the inquest has yet to be set.
