A man has died after he was shot by an RCMP officer outside a home in Dominion City on Tuesday morning.
Morris RCMP were sent to the home “for a wellness call” at about 8:31 a.m. While waiting for backup, the first officer there was confronted by a man who exited a garage on the property with a metal object in his hand and advanced towards the officer, RCMP said in a news release.
“Despite repeated commands to stop and drop the weapon, the male continued towards the officer, who then discharged his firearm,” the release said.
The officer gave the man CPR until emergency crews arrived. The 33-year-old man was then transported to hospital in critical condition by the STARS medical helicopter, where he later died from his injuries.
The officer was not hurt.
The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba asked witnesses or anyone with information or video that might help the police watchdog to call 1-844-667-6060.
