The RCMP officer who just died in Coquitlam centre near my house died executing a drug related search warrant. That latter fact took hours to come out as there was no critical coverage of what the police were reporting. We only learned later the suspect was also shot but expected to survive.
It seems pretty clearly like whatever operation the cops planned was incredibly botched but ultimately it's the drug war that resulted in another death, this time on the side of law enforcement (and the same is true of last year's RCMP death in Burnaby).
