A Winnipeg police officer shot a man who they say was assaulting another man outside Siloam Mission Friday night.
When they arrived around 11:10 p.m. Friday, officers saw an assault ongoing and “encountered a non-compliant” suspect, police said Saturday afternoon.
An officer shot the man, who is in his 20s. He was taken to hospital in stable but guarded condition.
The victim of the assault, who is in his 40s, was taken to hospital in unstable condition.
The Independent Investigation Unit, the civilian agency tasked with investigating critical police incidents and wrongdoing, has taken over the investigation, police said.
There was still a heavy police presence near Siloam Mission Saturday morning. A police cruiser car sat parked, surrounded by evidence markers.
Luke Thiessen, the homeless shelter’s communications manager, noted the violence wasn’t directed at any staff or the people who use the shelter. Rather, the shooting just happened to occur in the shelter’s lot, he said.
The incident outside the homeless shelter was the first police shooting in Manitoba in 2022.
