The BC RCMP has notified the Independent Investigations Office of British Columbia (IIO BC) of an incident in North Vancouver where an individual was fatally injured.

On November 12, 2022 at approximately 7:30 p.m., North Vancouver RCMP received a report of an individual who allegedly tried to attack another person with a weapon. North Vancouver additionally received another call from a different complainant, stating that an individual, was trying to break into their home.

The information received from both complainants led police to believe those acts were being committed by the same suspect.

Officers were able to locate the individual and initial attempts to take them in custody were not successful. A confrontation ensued which led to an officer to discharge their service issued firearm.

Emergency Health Services attended and transported them to hospital where they were later pronounced deceased.

 

Please note that all aspects and circumstances of this incident will be the subject of independent investigation by the IIO BC. For more information about the IIO BC and media updates, you can visit its website at www.iiobc.ca.
