Manitoba’s Independent Investigation Unit is investigating after a Manitoba First Nations Police Service officer was accidentally shot while executing a warrant in Brokenhead Ojibway Nation.
Police reported the incident occurred at around 2:30 p.m. on November 15. Officers encountered a large, aggressive dog inside a residence, and one officer attempted to shoot the animal. The shot instead struck another officer, injuring his foot.
The officer was taken to Health Sciences Centre Winnipeg and underwent surgery to remove the bullet.
