Man Shot and Killed By Prince Albert Police (Jan. 16, 2023)

A man was shot and killed by Prince Albert (Saskatchewan) police on January 16, 2023. A Prince Albert Police Service (PAPS) news release claims that the shooting happened at about 10:40 PM in the 400 block of South Industrial Drive “during a police investigation.”

Very few details were released publicly initially. For days no information was provided on the age of the victim, who had the gun or who fired it. The victim was treated by paramedics and taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The Saskatchewan Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT), which only recently became operational, will be investigating the shooting. It took them several days to confirm that a Prince Albert police officer shot and killed the man after a short foot chase..
