One man is dead following a police shooting in Grand Falls-Windsor early this morning.
The province’s Serious Incident Response Team has been called in to investigate. SIRT is called in in any serious incident arising from the actions of a police officer in the province.
Director Mike King says SIRT-NL is responding to the scene and is conducting an independent investigation into the matter.
King says as the investigation is ongoing, he is offering no further comment at this time. The RCMP says it would be inappropriate for them to comment while SIRT is investigating.
VOCM News is tracking the story and will provide updates as they become available.
