A man who was shot by Manitoba RCMP in Shamattawa on July 2 has died from his injuries.
The 22-year-old man was reported to have been walking down a street in the community armed with a gun. While patrolling the area, officers heard gunshots and soon located a suspect outside of a home. During the interaction, police opened fire on the suspect.
