"He was a good kid. I'm still shocked at what happened," cousin Eldon Whitstone told CBC News. Whitstone said his cousin had spent time in jail, and had been living in North Battleford before his death. He also had a son.Pump the brakes, Eldon... your sainted cousin was anything but "a good kid." He died because he was shooting at people himself BEFORE he rammed a police car.
Whitstone expressed anger at the police decision to shoot and said he hopes whoever pulled the trigger faces consequences. "There's other ways to stop and ... instead of shooting all the time."
