The following statement was issued by Chief Elsner during a
press conference at 3 p.m. today.
Listen here
Good Afternoon.
At approximately 11:00 a.m. this morning a number of our
officers responded to a 911-call from a residence in the 200-block of Dallas
Road.
Once on scene they were confronted by a man who was shot by
our officers and as a result, succumbed to his injuries.
At this time, members of the Independent Investigations
Office are en route to Victoria to take over the investigation.
We promise to cooperate fully with the IIO’s investigators
and will facilitate and open and transparent investigation into what occurred
today.
This is a tragic day in our community and as the Chief I’d
like to offer my sincere condolences to this man’s family, and my promise to
our communities, that we will cooperate fully with the IIO in their
investigation.
This is a sad day for our community and my thoughts and
prayers go out to this man’s family.
As the Chief I also know that this is a terrible time for all those members involved. We will provide them all the support that they also require.
