An 18-year-old from Portage la Prairie is dead after an early-morning incident with Manitoba police.
RCMP said they responded to an apartment building on Hazel Bay in Portage la Prairie just after 1 a.m. for a report of a domestic disturbance.
While they found the victim safe in another apartment, police said they were confronted by the male suspect who was armed with a weapon. Officers reacted by deploying Tasers while one of them fired a gun.
