DOMINION CITY, Man. – Manitoba’s police watchdog is investigating after the shooting death of a man in a community near the U.S. border.
The Independent Investigation Unit says RCMP were called this morning to do a wellness check at a residence in Dominion City.
It says the first responding officer was waiting for backup when a man approached while carrying a metal object.
The agency says the officer shot the man after he continued to advance despite several calls for him to drop the object.
RCMP say the 33-year-old man died in hospital.
The watchdog says it will request the Manitoba Police Commission appoint a civilian monitor because the case involves a fatality.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan. 14, 2025.
