Regina police seek witnesses, video in fatal shooting involving Saskatoon police
An area resident, who Global News agreed not to name for safety reasons, said he was home when the incident happened, adding he saw multiple police vehicles pull up.
“I heard banging on the door, first of all. I heard three big bangs, and that was probably them knocking on the door,” the man said.He said there were probably 20 or 30 cops, all with their guns drawn.The resident noted that it wasn’t long before the ambulance got there and took a guy away on a stretcher.Chief of the Saskatoon Police Service, Troy Cooper put out a statement the day following the incident.
“Late yesterday afternoon members of our Guns and Gangs Unit became aware that a 36-year-old male who was wanted by La Loche RCMP was in the 1300 block of Avenue E North and was armed with a gun. The male was in breach of release conditions and had removed his electronic monitoring device,” Cooper said.“Officers reported the male pointed his firearm at them both inside and outside the multi-unit residence.
“We are extremely fortunate that our officers and the bystanders were not physically harmed. This is an example of the unpredictable and dangerous situations our officers face far too often. They must rely on their extensive training and professionalism to make split-second decisions. Mental health supports are in place within our organization to assist. RCMP Victims Services support has been offered to the family of the deceased.
