CBC
A man was shot dead by police in the Manitoba town of Niverville early Wednesday, while another man sped off in a stolen vehicle, RCMP say.
The shooting happened around 3 a.m. in the area of Drovers Run, a business strip that runs parallel to Highway 311 through the town, which is about 20 kilometres south of Winnipeg.
A woman told CBC News police are focused on an area around a Shell gas station and Tim Hortons restaurant at the corner of Drovers Run and Krahn Road.
Another man got away in a stolen vehicle while a woman is in custody, RCMP said.
Police are also at a second scene, just southeast of Niverville at the corner of highways 59 and 305. A Winnipeg police cruiser was parked there Wednesday morning with a portion of its front end smashed in and about a dozen bullet holes in its windshield.
RCMP say it is connected with the incident in the town.
Drovers Run is expected to be blocked off for much of the day as police investigate. More information will be provided as soon as it is available, the RCMP said.
