Regina Man Charged in Highway 39 Shooting That Killed Tanya Myers

The case moves from an RCMP investigation to court proceedings with the accused set to appear in Regina Provincial Court.

Overview

  • RCMP arrested 42-year-old Chris Fahlman of Regina and charged him with manslaughter and multiple firearms-related offences.
  • Fahlman appeared in Regina Provincial Court on Monday and is scheduled to return to court on Tuesday, according to reporting from the hearing.
  • Investigators say the shooting appears random, they are not seeking additional suspects, and there is no known connection between the accused and the victims.
  • On Sept. 12 around 8 p.m., 44-year-old Tanya Myers died at the scene after gunfire struck her SUV on Highway 39 near Weyburn, while a trailing vehicle was also hit.
  • Witness accounts and RCMP evidence describe multiple bullet holes in the SUV and a bullet recovered from the following driver’s tire, with police providing limited detail at Monday’s briefing because the case is before the courts.
