An Edmonton police officer who shot a man with a stun gun during an arrest was found not guilty of assault with a weapon Tuesday. Court of King's Bench Justice Kent Davidson acquitted Const.

As wildfire swept closer to his farm near Wildwood, Alta., Jens Jorgensen made a choice. The small community 120 kilometres west of Edmonton was under an evacuation order about this time last spring, as fires spread across Yellowhead County. "Didn't matter what direction we looked - you could see smoke and fire," Jorgensen said, during an interview on his farm on Saturday. Jorgensen keeps beef cattle, horses and poultry on his farm. He and his wife also run a dog-boarding business.
