Constable Tierney was killed in Moose Jaw Yard, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan while on a regular patrol.

Constable Tierney encountered two males breaking into a boxcar. The males shot and killed Constable Tierney at the scene and then fled. Two males were arrested as a result but charges were dismissed for insufficient evidence.

Moose Jaw at this time frame was an active connection to the U.S. with a direct line from the United States and prohibition was becoming an issue.
