SIRT investigating after RCMP officer shoots Flying Dust First Nation man

WATCH: Saskatchewan's Serious Incident Response Team is investigating an officer involved shooting in Flying Dust First Nation.

Saskatchewan’s civilian police watchdog is investigating an officer-involved shooting in Flying Dust First Nation.

The investigation stems from an incident on Sunday evening when Meadow Lake detachment officers were called to a home in the nearby First Nation with a report that a man was acting aggressively, the Saskatchewan RCMP said in a news release.

According to the RCMP, the two officers arrived at the home and encountered the man with a weapon, although they didn’t specify what type of weapon.

Then, one of the RCMP officers shot the man, police say. He was taken to hospital with serious injuries. Neither officer was injured.

The RCMP says it does not have an update on the man’s current condition, but the man’s family has been notified.

Saskatchewan’s Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) was called to the scene shortly after — a requirement any time someone is killed or injured by police in the line of duty.

SIRT will investigate and determine if shooting the man constituted a reasonable use of force, given the circumstances.

It’s expected to issue a report on its findings several months after the conclusion of the investigation.
