MACKENZIE — The Indepedent Investigations Office (IIO) is investigating an incident in Mackenzie where one man has died.
On Tuesday, Mackenzie RCMP received a call of a man attending a pipeline site where he was said to have made threats towards the site workers, and reportedly had a rifle and ammunition in his vehicle, promoting the evacuation of the worksite.
Officers with the MacKenzie RCMP and the RCMP North District Emergency Response Team attended the man’s residence and set up containment.
Officers reportedly made multiple attempts to have the man surrender, but while they were outside a bang was heard in the home. When officers entered the home one man was found dead.
