RCMP officer injured by friendly fire

CBC is reporting that "The RCMP say one of its officers was likely injured by police gunfire near the community of Midway, a small town in B.C.'s Kootenay region just north of the Canada-U.S. border. An RCMP spokesperson said Kelowna RCMP identified a suspicious Ford F-350 pickup truck around 10:30 a.m. PT on Tuesday and began following it."

"Police say the truck, which was monitored with air surveillance, eventually began driving up a forest service road near Midway around 1:30 p.m., when plainclothes officers from Penticton and Kelowna and dog handlers attempted to pull it over."

"Police arrested two people, and during the arrest, a dog bit a man, according to an RCMP statement. A police officer was also shot and wounded, the statement said, noting it appears the wounded officer was shot as a result of police gunfire. The officer was taken to hospital where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released."
