Three OPP officers from Sioux Lookout have been cleared of any wrong-doing by the Ontario Special Investigations Unit in the shooting death of a Lac Seul area resident.The incident took place back on May 9th, when Brian Gray began firing shots near the home of George Carprenter.
Police were later informed that Carpenter had been killed in his home and there were at least six other people in his house that were being held hostage.
Later the 54 year old exited the house with a male hostage and had a rifle pointed at his head.
He was taken to hospital where he died of his injuries.
The SIU determined the officers were justified in the use of lethal force because Gray had proven to be unpredictible and violent in the events leading up to the shooting.
