A young Indigenous man was shot dead by Tofino RCMP in a residence on Saturday night, Indigenous leaders have confirmed. RCMP said in a written statement that at around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday two officers from Tofino RCMP attended a residence on the Opitsaht First Nation as they searched for a woman believed to be in distress. After they arrived, a man was shot and killed. This is the same First Nations community that lost a young woman last year to a fatal police shooting. In June of last year, Chantel Moore, a 26-year-old Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation woman, was shot and killed by a police officer during a wellness check in New Brunswick.
