The man accused of shooting a Kamloops RCMP officer made another brief appearance in a Kamloops courtroom .
Kenneth Michael Knutson appeared via video conference Monday morning to set a date for his upcoming trial. However, it was delayed and Knutson will make another appearance to set a trial date on August 4th.
The 36-year-old faces four charges, including attempted murder, in relation to the shooting of RCMP Constable Jean-Rene Michaud.
Michaud was shot in the early morning hours of December 3rd, 2014 after pulling over a vehicle in the Bachelor Heights neighbourhood of Kamloops.
