WINNIPEG – The agency tasked with investigating Manitoba’s police says it’s looking into the shooting death of a dog on a First Nation.
The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba says an officer with the Manitoba First Nations Police Service went to make an arrest Wednesday at a house on Swan Lake First Nation, southwest of Winnipeg.
No arrest was made, but the officer was bitten by a dog while leaving the home.
The agency says the officer returned a short time later and shot and killed the dog.
It asks witnesses or anyone with information to call the unit toll-free at 1-844-667-6060.
No further details were provided, as the investigation is ongoing.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 10, 2025.
