  • BC's police watchdog investigating after man shot by police in hospital

B-C's police watchdog is investigating the death of a man after he was shot by police in a hospital Wednesday.

Mounties say an "interaction" between the man and officers occurred at the Fraser Canyon Hospital in Hope, resulting in one officer discharging their firearm.

Police say the man received immediate medical attention but was pronounced dead at the scene.

The R-C-M-P say they were called to the hospital after two people who had previously been involved in a two-vehicle collision, allegedly got into an altercation.
