A Saskatoon man who was shot by police just before Christmas 2020 will spend a year in jail.
Two Saskatoon Police Service officers were initially called to an apartment building on Avenue W North near 33rd Street on Dec. 23, 2020, after reports of a domestic altercation at an apartment in the Massey Place neighbourhood.
When officers arrived, they said Tikkanen Wayne Lee, 27, was carrying a knife and shots were fired outside of the building. He was treated in hospital for what are reported to be non-life-threatening injuries, according to a press release.
