NORWAY HOUSE, Man. — A police officer fatally shot an armed teenager on a First Nation north of Lake Winnipeg, RCMP said Friday.

Mounties said it followed a report earlier in the day that a man was “agitated” and armed with an “edged weapon” in a home on Norway House Cree Nation.

He was outside with the weapon when officers arrived and, despite numerous orders to drop it, he moved toward them, RCMP said.
