NANAIMO, B.C. – The RCMP says one man has died following a police shooting in Nanaimo, B.C.
Mounties say in a news release frontline officers were called to a reported confrontation between a man and woman outside a vehicle near the south end of the city on Saturday afternoon.
They allege the man produced a weapon when officers arrived.
The statement says shots were fired by police and the man was injured.
It says paramedics with BC Emergency Health Services attended to the man, however he died at the scene.
