Quebec police watchdog investigates fatal police shooting of axe-wielding man in Trois-Rivières.

Quebec police watchdog, Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes, investigates the fatal police shooting of a man in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, who wielded an axe-like object. A 911 call reported a man acting erratically, and despite police attempts to communicate, use pepper spray, and deploy an electric shock weapon, the man approached officers with the axe, leading to their decision to open fire. The watchdog will determine if police actions were justified during the incident.
