They found a woman, 27, who had been attacked with a machete and she was taken to hospital.Two officers went to another location and found a man, 31, who they believed was responsible for the attack. After a confrontation, the officers backed off and called for backup.Over the next hour, the man came out several times and had “verbal exchanges” with police as more police units arrived.About two hours later, there was another confrontation and a member of the RCMP's SWAT team then shot and killed the man.SIRT says it is not clear if the man had a weapon when he was shot.The RCMP said an officer was hurt during the incident, but SIRT did not give any new information about how badly the officer was injured.SIRT will look at how police handled the situation, including why the man was killed and share their findings with the public within 90 days of finishing their investigation..This is what the Western Standard is up againstThe Trudeau government is funding lies and propaganda by directly subsidizing the mainstream media.
