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.
