W5 investigates the shooting deaths of Rodney Jackson and Greg Matters, two men who never met each other, but shared the same fate.
Both were shot and killed in northern British Columbia – Rodney Jackson in 2009 and Greg Matters in 2012. Both died at the hands of an RCMP Emergency Response Team. Ever since, their families have asked the same question: Why did it have to happen?
