Officers say they opened fire because matters was waving a hatchet.

The case was handled by the Independent Investigations Office.

Now, a third party has now been asked to review its handling of the incident because of conflicting details about Matters’ wounds.

Matter’s sister Tracey says that’s not good enough and believes all of the facts need to be reviewed.
