LA BROQUERIE, Man. – RCMP have shot and killed a man in southern Manitoba.
Police say officers were patrolling a highway near the francophone community of La Broquerie, when they saw a stopped vehicle and a man standing by the driver-side door.
They say the man was reaching in the vehicle and assaulting a woman while holding an edged weapon.
RCMP say officers ordered the man to step away and drop the weapon, but he began to approach the officers and one fired a gun.
