The Independent Investigations Office was called Wednesday to the community of Yahk after a man was hit by RCMP gunfire the night before.
It happened as the Mountie stopped two people in an SUV – a vehicle police say was linked to a carjacking in the Creston area.

The IIO has collected evidence, canvassed the neighourbood and interviewed potential witnesses over the past three days.
Members now head back to their Surrey headquarters to review the information.
