One man is dead after an incident in the Municipality of Shuniah.
Thunder Bay OPP tell us they were called to Copenhagen Road Thursday afternoon just after 4:30 to reports of a man in distress.
A short time later police say they found a man dead outside a house.
Police add the Special Investigations Unit has been called in, which means no further details will be given by police.
SIU Preliminary information suggests the following:
• At approximately 5 p.m. on March 12, 2020 Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers responded to a residence for a man in distress. Officers also had information the man had access to firearms.
• When OPP officers neared the residence, they saw the man walking away from the residence, carrying what appeared to be a firearm.
• A short while later, the OPP officers apparently heard a gunshot and the man was located deceased.
The SIU has assigned two investigators and one forensics investigator.
