B.C. man feared ‘hit’ because of a feeling, ex-Mountie tells inquest into deaths
Christopher Duong reported fears of being targeted days before he, his wife, and two sons were found dead, with police detaining him under the Mental Health Act.
- On Feb. 3, 2026, a former RCMP officer testified that Christopher Duong told officers days earlier he had a feeling someone was trying to kill them.
- Police records show Christopher Duong told officers a hit had been ordered and he kept driving to avoid being tracked, while neighbours in Prince Rupert said they had not seen two cars circling.
- Inspecting the family’s blue pickup, officers found cash, ammunition for a bear banger, and later detained Duong, who was also observed with a box cutter and knife.
- Police later told the inquest that officers informed the Ministry of Children and Family Development and said there was no ongoing public danger.
- Records and testimony show a 2015 civil-forfeiture notice identified Duong as a violent gang member and drug trafficker, and a doctor testified he suffered a brain injury in a car crash a year earlier.
