## Resource

A family’s peaceful camping trip turned into a nightmare when gunfire erupted over their heads—fifteen to twenty shots fired near their bonfire in Alberta’s Ghost Public Land Use Zone. A conservation officer narrowly escaped injury as three men were caught shooting at targets, sending bullets toward campers and himself. They were ticketed for improper firearm discharge, and the province swiftly banned recreational firearms in the area—though hunting remained legal. The family, traumatized and now fearful of the outdoors, haven’t camped since. Charges against the shooters were initially upgraded to criminal offenses, but just before trial, they were stayed after a lawyer change and prosecutor replacement, with the Crown citing insufficient conviction likelihood. The family feels abandoned and angry, while authorities say they must ensure cases have strong evidence and public interest to proceed.
