A First Nations leader says the fatal police shooting of a man in Kenora has left many communities in the north grieving.
Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation says the shooting sent shock waves through many of the association's 49-member First Nations.
Ontario's police watchdog says they are investigating after an OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) officer shot a 57-year-old man in a Kenora park early Wednesday.
Fiddler says the death of 57-year-old Bruce Frogg from Wawakapewin First Nation once again raises serious questions about police conduct with First Nations people.
