Police Watchdog Investigating After Man Killed During Arrest in Deer Lake First Nation

The Nishnawbe Aski Police Service had a warrant for the man's arrest at a residence in Deer Lake.
The SIU's initial report incorrectly stated that the man fled; he actually approached officers before being shot.
The man was shot, taken to a nursing station, and pronounced dead, with a post-mortem examination scheduled for Friday in Toronto.
