A public vigil will be held tonight to remember the victim of a police shooting last month. Organizer Alixe Miller says its to honour Chris Klim's life.' The 24 year old was shot a month ago at his apartment and several investigations are underway into the incident.RCMP Inspector Steve McVarnock says police won't be attending the event."I have had a personal discussion with the co-ordinator of the vigil and we mutually came to the agreement that it would not be appropriate for the police to be present given the nature of the vigil.The event will be held at 6:30 outside the Vernon library.
