RCMP say a 27-year-old man has died after being shot by officers responding to a weapons complaint on a Manitoba First Nation.
Mounties say the Manitoba First Nation Police Service called them Saturday night for help with a disturbance involving a weapon at a residence in Sandy Bay First Nation.
They say the suspect fled by the time officers arrived, but RCMP and Manitoba First Nation Police tracked him to an open, outdoor area in the community.
RCMP say he was armed with multiple weapons, and they say a Mountie shot and wounded the suspect.
They say the suspect died despite police efforts to save his life.
RCMP Major Crimes Services in the community are currently investigating and police say the Manitoba Independent Investigations Unit is also conducting their own investigation.
