'I saw lights from the police car ... and I heard screaming'
The IIU is investigating a fatal shooting Tuesday by a Winnipeg Police officer in Fort Richmond.
Winnipeg police said officers tried to conduct a traffic stop near Pembina Highway and Dalhousie Drive at about 12:40 a.m.
The occupants of the stopped vehicle tried to flee, resulting in one officer being pinned with the vehicle. Another officer shot at the male driver before he was pulled from the truck and given first aid, according to police.
The 39-year-old man was taken to the Health Sciences Centre in critical condition, where he died, the IIU said. The officer who was pinned was injured and taken to hospital in stable condition.

But off the ice, the team is struggling at the box office.
Hockey writer Mike McIntyre looks at what’s at play when it comes to attendance.
