  • Mission man suffers self-inflicted wounds in presence of police

The BC RCMP has notified the Independent Investigations office of British Columbia (IIO BC) of an incident in Mission where a man suffered self-inflicted wounds while in the presence of police.

On June 27, at approximately 10 a.m., Mission RCMP received a complaint regarding a woman screaming at a residence. When officers arrived a woman, who appeared injured, answered the door and indicated that there was man who was known to her in the home.

During the course of searching the 2-storey home officers reportedly heard a gun shot, and located the injured man with what appeared to be a self-inflicted injury and an alleged weapon.
