Manitoba police watchdog clears officers who shot mentally ill man wielding an axe.

Manitoba's police watchdog has cleared two officers who fatally shot a 59-year-old man with mental health issues. The man confronted police with an axe while they were trying to hospitalize him under the Mental Health Act. The investigation found the use of force was justified, as the man prevented entry, used a fire extinguisher, and swung an axe at officers. The cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds.
