The man charged with fatally shooting Abbotsford Police Const. John Davidson on Nov. 6 is scheduled to make a brief court appearance this morning.

Oscar Arfmann, 65, is slated to appear in Abbotsford provincial court to confirm whether he has a lawyer in place.

Arfmann, an Alberta resident, was charged Nov. 7 with first-degree murder after Davidson was killed in the line of duty.

The 53-year-old officer was the first on scene after police received reports of shots being fired at civilians at a strip mall on Mt. Lehman Road.

Davidson was struck by gunfire and was pronounced dead in hospital shortly after.

Arfmann was arrested not far from the scene following a brief police chase that ended in a crash and with more shots being fired. He was injured in the incident and was taken to hospital.

Watch for more following Arfmann’s court appearance.
