A man who was fired from an Edmonton pipeline company has been charged with attempted murder after one of his former co-workers was shot in a church parking lot early Monday morning.
William Hawkins, 46, of Gibbons, Alta. was tackled and held down by two of his former colleagues until police arrived.
But. . .
Usually police release the name of individuals charged with crimes. In this case, they said Hawkins could not be identified because he was arrested under the Mental Health Act.
The police news release also did not mention that the man was fired from his job and that the incident involved his former employer.
Edmonton police have been criticized by the media for withholding Hawkins' name because it violates the principle of an open court system. Alberta RCMP and the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team also make it a practice to withhold names.
