Man Dead After Police Shooting In Surrey

The Canadian Press, 28 Dec, 2014 01:18 PM
  • Man Dead After Police Shooting In Surrey
SURREY, B.C. — One man is dead in Surrey, B.C., following an officer-involved shooting that is now under investigation by the province's police watchdog.
 
The shooting took place just after 8 a.m. Sunday at a Safeway store in the north Surrey community known as Whalley and just blocks away from the Independent Investigations Office.
 
Local TV news coverage showed the store behind yellow police tape, RCMP and Transit Police cars in its parking lot and paramedics wheeling a person on a stretcher to a waiting ambulance.
 
Kellie Kilpatrick, an IIO spokeswoman, said independent investigators were called at about 8:41 a.m.
 
"Initial reports are that a male was at the store, distraught, he left the store and subsequently came into contact with Transit police who shot the affected person, who we learned a short time ago did not survive his injuries," she said in an interview.
