Brand new investigative office busy already

A spokesperson for the brand-new “Independent Investigations Office” says they are pleased so far with now the RCMP secured the scene of last night’s police shooting in Prince George.

Owen Court speaks for the new office.

“Just after 7:30 our office received a report from the Prince George RCMP that their officers had been involved in a shooting which resulted in the death of one individual.  We were able to dispatch a team very quickly and they were on a plane within a couple of hours and arrived at the actual scene in Prince George just a few minutes past midnight.  Then this morning we were able to dispatch additional investigators and as of late this morning we have approximately 10 people at scene now.”

After  a day-long standoff at a rural property, a man was shot dead by an RCMP officer.

However, no details of the circumstances have been released yet by the RCMP or the I-I-O.
