Manitoba’s police watchdog has been called in after a police shooting in Winnipeg left one man dead and an officer recovering from a stab wound to the throat.

Police say officers were around the 3600 block of Portage Ave. at about 5 p.m. Sunday when they received a call for reports of an officer stabbed in the throat and a suspect shot.

Acting Chief Art Stannard told a late-night press conference that the victim was given CPR at the scene before being taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
