Saskatchewan’s police watchdog is investigating after a Saskatoon police officer allegedly shot and injured a 34-year-old man.
Saskatoon police say the incident occurred while tactical officers were involved in a search warrant at a home as part of an aggravated assault and gun investigation around 2:30 a.m. Saturday.
The force says officers found a body inside the home after the shooting, but the death is not related to actions by officers.
They consider the death suspicious and also arrested two women at the home.
Police say the injured man is in stable condition in the hospital.
Saskatchewan’s Serious Incident Response Team probes incidents in which someone has been injured or killed in police custody or as a result of an officer’s actions.
