DANFORD LAKE
Dec. 28, 2017
Authorities have identified the Danford Lake man shot and killed by police on Dec. 28.
38-year-old Denis Beaudoin was pronounced dead at hospital after being shot by police.
According to police, shortly after 9:30 p.m. Beaudoin’s father called police and told them his son was not well and had left home armed with a bow and arrow and an iron bar.
Later, Beaudoin allegedly called police himself and told them to arrive within the next 20 minutes or he would kill his father.

Shortly before 11 p.m. police encountered Beaudoin in the street armed with the weapons.
Police say the man shot an arrow at the officers who then returned fire using their service weapons.
The man was transported to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The province’s independent police watchdog unit, the Enquêtes indépendantes du Québec (BEI) is currently investigating the shooting.
The BEI has appointed 2 members of the Montreal Police Service to assist with the investigation.
