BURNABY, B.C. — The officer in charge when police in Surrey, B.C., killed a hostage taker and the woman he was holding says he believes he did everything possible to save her.
White says the call to the home on March 2019 was the hardest case he was ever involved with because Crosson would not talk to police and they had limited information about what was happening. White was at a command post near the home but could not see it directly, and he told the coroner's jury he approved a plan to use explosives to enter through a door and window of a bedroom where they believed Crosson was holding McEwan.
He said once he launches a plan it is out of his hands and he had hope that Crosson would do the right thing instead of the"absolutely worse thing possible.""They created the circumstances, and they finished the circumstances and unfortunately every opportunity we gave them to stop was not acknowledged," he said of Crosson.
