T HE man accused of fatally shoot-ing a 20-year-old woman on arural road west of Gimli on Satur-
day night was on the opposite end of aless-serious road shooting eight yearsearlier.
Jesse Paluk was walking home fromTeulon Collegiate on Highway 17 in2010 when he and a friend were shotat and bruised by plastic pellets froman air rifle.
Three students, aged 15 and 16,drove up and began shooting at thethen 14-year-old Paluk. He and hisfriend were struck in the back, arms,leg and one plastic pellet hit Paluk inthe face near an eye.
The incident was characterized asbullying and made headlines.
Paluk, 23, is now charged with sec-ond-degree murder in the death ofHailey Dugay. A suspect opened fireon three vehicles travelling along Pro-vincial Road 231, between Fraserwoodand Gimli, at around 11:30 p.m. Dugay,who worked at a daycare, was fatallywounded.
In the bullying incident in 2010, Pa-luk’s father, Douglas, complained tomedia that Teulon Collegiate wasn’tdoing enough to protect students frombullying.
Two of the three students in the carwere reportedly expelled from schoolover the incident. However, RCMP didnot lay charges, noting that the plasticgun used in the incident can be boughtat sporting goods stores and is not con-sidered a firearm.
Douglas Paluk died last year at theage of 50.
Jesse Paluk’s lone conviction as anadult was for dangerous operation ofa motor vehicle causing bodily harmin 2016. He was handed a 90-day in-termittent jail sentence, to be servedon weekends. His licence was also sus-pended for 18 months.
Paluk was convicted after he flippedhis truck on Highway 17. He had nodriver’s licence, no car insurance, andbald tires. He swerved off an on-rampinto a ditch and “completely pancaked”the truck, provincial court Judge Mur-ray Thompson said as he handed downthe sentence.
Several passengers were in thetruck, but luckily, only one was hurt.He was off work for three months re-covering from a shoulder injury.
“He already is someone who doesn’thave a lot of friends, and that was afriendship that he has all but lost asa result of his conduct that day,” Pa-luk’s defence lawyer, Gerri Wiebe,told court at the time. She asked thejudge to spare Paluk jail time becauseof his history with ADHD and the de-pression he suffered as a result of hisfather’s death, which transpired afterthe truck crash.
At the time, Paluk worked at a quar-ry for a construction company andwas responsible for all of the mainte-nance and yard work at his family’s80-acre farmhouse outside Teulon, thecourt heard.
The shooting with a firearm lastSaturday was reportedly proceededby a fight at a Fraserwood bar, 80 ki-lometres north of Winnipeg. The fightended with everyone ejected.
Dugay and her boyfriend, BrandenHarasymko, were not part of the skir-mish, Branden’s father, Jerry, said.
Shots were fired from the road atthree vehicles, all belonging to barpatrons that night, at the same loca-tion on PR 231. Dugay was a passengerin her boyfriend’s truck when it wasstruck by gunfire.
The couple were driving to a houseparty when they came upon a man
holding a rifle, standing on the roadbeside a car, Jerry Harasymko said.
“Branden stopped and said, ‘Is therea problem here?’ and (the man) toldhim to keep on driving,” Harasymkosaid. “He did, and all of a sudden, heheard shots being fired.”
Dugay, seated in the rear passengerseat, was shot.
Paluk, from the Teulon area, hasbeen charged with second-degreemurder and an additional sevencounts each of attempted murder anddischarging a firearm with intent towound, and three counts each of reck-less discharge of a firearm and assaultwith a weapon.
He was scheduled in bail court onTuesday but did not appear. He willhave to make a bail application in frontof a Queen’s Bench Justice because ofthe seriousness of the charges.
The case will be back on today’sbail docket, but it’s expected to be ad-journed again.

BILL REDEKOP
MANITOBA’S highest court has re-jected an appeal from the man con-victed of first-degree murder in a 2012Winnipeg diner shooting.
In its decision this week, the Courtof Appeal ruled against Devin King-sley Hall, who had challenged theguilty verdict.
He had argued there were prob-lems with the judge’s instructions tothe jury about DNA evidence againsthim, and a police statement from anow-dead eyewitness to the SalisburyHouse shooting was unreliable andshouldn’t have been accepted duringhis June 2016 trial.
Hall’s lawyer, Martin Glazer, raisedthose concerns as part of a 12-groundappeal, but Court of Appeal JusticeChristopher Mainella decided many ofthe appeal grounds were “repetitive orof no merit.”
Mainella, along with Justices DianaCameron and Barbara Hamilton, ulti-mately decided the trial judge actedproperly in instructing the jury andallowing as evidence a witness state-ment from a man who was later killeda year after the shooting at SalisburyHouse on Pembina Highway and Staf-ford Street.
That homicide remains unsolved.They also decided the jury’s verdict
was reasonable.“Taking into account the factual
matrix of the case viewed through thelens of judicial experience, the jurywas entitled to conclude that the onlyreasonable conclusion was that theaccused was the shooter,” Mainellawrote in the 66-page decision, re-leased Monday.
Investigators found a white shirtand gloves near the Winnipeg restau-rant where 23-year-old Jeffrey Lauwas fatally shot in September 2012.
DNA from several people was foundon the items, and a DNA expert testi-fied it was “likely” Hall’s DNA wasamong them. The appeal court’s de-cision emphasized the DNA was onlyone piece of an entirely circumstan-tial case that had to be considered asa whole.
“The accused went so far as to ar-gue that it is impossible for a properlyinstructed jury to ever convict whenthere is a mixed DNA profile becauseone cannot tell which of the contribu-tors may have perpetrated the crime.This logic is faulty,” Mainella wrote.
