HALIFAX – Nova Scotia’s police oversight board is investigating after a man was shot in downtown Halifax by officers responding to a pair of liquor store robberies.
Halifax Regional Police say they were alerted Saturday afternoon to robberies at a pair of Crown-owned liquor stores just blocks apart from each other.
In both cases, police say the suspect sprayed an unknown “sensory irritant” before fleeing.
Investigators say officers tracked down a 37-year-old man, who allegedly threatened police with a large knife.
The man was shot by an officer and was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
A spokesperson for the Serious Incident Response Team says it will investigate the matter and is asking any witnesses to come forward.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan. 18, 2026.
