Nova Scotia’s police watchdog is investigating after a man was injured in an RCMP shooting Sunday evening.
In a release, the RCMP said officers responded to an incident at a home on Harbourview Road in Pictou Landing First Nation around 10:50 p.m. on Dec. 31, where “a man was threatening people who are known to him.”
“During the response, an RCMP officer discharged their firearm as officers attempted to arrest the suspect,” the release said.
“The injured male was provided first aid and transported to hospital by EHS for non-life-threatening injuries. No one else was injured during the incident and the investigation is ongoing.”
