  • Man dead in Revelstoke, IIO investigating

BC's police watchdog is investigating the death of a man who was shot by an officer in Revelstoke.

R-C-M-P say it happened Sunday night after they responded to a call about a stolen vehicle.

As officers tried to stop the stolen car, police say there was "contact" between the two vehicles and the suspect tried to run away on foot.

R-C-M-P say the man reportedly entered a police vehicle after a brief foot chase and was shot by an officer.
