ST-GEORGES, Que.—Quebec’s independent police watchdog is investigating after a former hockey player who toiled for several years in a Quebec minor league was killed in a police shooting Sunday evening in the province’s Beauce region. Brandon Christian, 47, of St-Georges, was identified as the victim by the Quebec coroner’s office on Monday. His former club, the Cool FM de St-Georges-de-Beauce, extended its condolences to Christian’s family and friends on its Facebook page. “Brandon was an important player in his own way in the history of the franchise.”The bureau that investigates police shootings in Quebec launched a probe of the incident late Sunday. Provincial police tracked down the 47-year-old man — who they say seemed confused and aggressive — on the streets of St-Georges, a town about 100 kilometres south of Quebec City.
