Nanaimo mill security guard describes shooter as a “zombie”
NANAIMO — As the trial of Kevin Addison entered its second day, emotions ran high as the court heard disturbing testimony from an eyewitness to the death of Michael Lunn, who said the shooter was like a “zombie”.
Security guard Michael Lauder took the stand Thursday to testify about what he saw on the morning of April 30, 2014 as he prepared to end his shift at the Western Forest Products mill in Nanaimo.
Typically, every morning Lunn arrived five to ten minutes early for his 7 a.m. shift at work and parked in the gravel lot nearby the security shack where Lauder had worked for the previous 16 years.
That morning was no different, said Lauder, who glanced out the window of his security shack at a mirror mounted on a tall pole nearby at approximately 6:55 a.m. and saw the reflection of Lunn’s grey truck as it pulled into the lot. Lunn, a forklift driver, had parked in the same spot for as long as he could remember, he added.
