A member of the Manitoba First Nations Police Service is not facing charges after he shot a man who was attacking him.

In May of 2019, the officer was called to a business on the Waywayseecappo First Nation because of a disturbance.

When he tried to arrest a man, another man stabbed the officer several times.

The officer then shot and injured the man who stabbed him.

The Independent Investigation Unit  says the officer will not face any charges.

Last week, the man who stabbed the officer was sent to prison for nine years.
