(Chris Fahlman/Facebook)A Regina man made a third court appearance on Thursday afternoon in connection with the shooting death of a woman on a Saskatchewan highway in September.Chris Fahlman, 42, was charged on Nov. 1 with one count of manslaughter and three other weapons charges, including careless use of a firearm, for the fatal shooting of Tanya Myers, 44, who was shot while riding as a passenger in a vehicle on Highway 39 near Weyburn on Sept. 12.He appeared virtually in court Thursday, but has yet to enter a plea or have a bail hearing, after his defence lawyer said Thursday she needs more time to prepare.In court, lawyer Sharon Fox said she received a “very brief disclosure” Thursday morning, which “created more questions than answers.””We are not in a position to proceed at this time,” she said. Fahlman is scheduled to next appear in provincial court in Regina on Friday afternoon, when the hope is to set a bail hearing for next week, the judge presiding over Thursday’s hearing said.Thursday’s court appearance was heavily attended, with every seat in the courtroom occupied. Many drove from Weyburn to Regina, including friends and family members of Myers, hoping to hear more details about what happened in the shooting.Myers’s friend Andrea Morrice, who was driving the SUV Myers was in when she was shot, said the repeated postponements of Fahlman’s bail hearing have been disappointing.Morrice and Myers were driving back to Weyburn from Regina when the shooting happened. Making the trip to Regina now is difficult, said Morrice.”I want to know what happened that night … how accidental it was or wasn’t,” said Morrice. “I just need to know the facts.”Morrice said she will attend Fahlman’s bail hearing “when it happens,” but will not make the trip on Friday.
