New Brunswick has experienced two fatal police shootings of in less than two weeks.
The latest incident occurred last night and involved the R-C-M-P in Miramichi, New Brunswick.
Quebec's police watch dog says it's been told that Mounties responding to a report of a disturbed person confronted a man armed with a knife and used an electronic stun gun unsuccessfully on him.
Investigators say the man was allegedly shot when he charged police.
The previous incident involved 26-year-old Chantel Moore, an Indigenous woman who moved to the province from B-C.
She died on June 4th after being shot by an Edmundston police officer.
There are now growing calls for a broader inquiry to examine systemic bias against Indigenous people in New Brunswick's policing and criminal justice systems.1
