A Canadian cop known as Constable Grzegorz Pierzchala was fatally shot while responding to a vehicle in a ditch, just minutes after he had passed the probation period to become a police officer.
The 28 year old of the Ontario Provincial Police, responded to the scene on Indian Line Road in Haldimand County at about 2:40 p.m. Tuesday, when he arrived, he was shot in the chest and the leg.
Unfortunately, he gave up the ghost in a local hospital.The suspect, Randall McKenzie, 25, allegedly fled in a black Chevy pickup but was soon arrested along with Brandi Stewart-Sperry, 30. McCkenzie and Stewart-Sperry were charged with first-degree murder on Wednesday. 
Pierzchala learned that he had passed his 10-month probationary period on the force right before he left to respond to the vehicle, OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique said.
“This is a man who, at 5 years old, decided he wanted to be a police officer and he had a brief opportunity to live out his dream and to do his best to keep our community safe,” Carrique said.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford stated that he was horrified by the officer’s death. “Thank you to the officers who apprehended the suspects without incident,” he said in a tweet. “Our first responders are true heroes. We share in the pain felt by family, friends and the entire police community as Ontario mourns this loss,” he added.
