OPPA Levi Schaeffer

More than three months following a fatal shooting in northwestern Ontario, details have been released into the death of a 25 year old Peterborough man near Pickle Lake.

The Ontario Provincial Police Assoication says they recently discovered the circustances surrounding the death of Levi Schaeffer on June 24th on Osnaburgh Lake.

Karl Walsh is president of the OPPA and says he's concerned that the director of the Special Investigations Unit did not include the details of the incident in his final report.

Walsh says the incident took place after officers confronted Schaeffer after receiving reports of a stolen boat.

He says Schaeffer had a knife and threatened the officers and backed them into an area they couldn't get out of.

One of the officers fire in self-defense, killing Schaeffer.
