Man dead after B.C. RCMP shooting, woman’s body found in home

SURREY — RCMP say British Columbia’s Independent Investigations Office has been called in after officers shot and killed a man at a home in Surrey after responding to a reported assault on Monday evening.

Police say they were called to the home in the Metro Vancouver suburb, where officers shot a man who had a weapon, and he died of his injuries despite being treated by paramedics at the scene.

Surrey Mounties say officers found the body of a woman in the home “immediately” after the shooting.

An RCMP statement says the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is now probing the woman’s death.
