Two people are dead in Campbell River, including one man killed by R-C-M-P. Police say they were called Monday to a report of a homicide at a local marina with hostages being involved. When officers arrived, they learned the male suspect was alone and attempts were made to negotiate with the man, who police say had a weapon. R-C-M-P say shots were fired during an interaction with the man and he was killed. The Independent Investigations Office is investigating the police shooting. The R-C-M-P says the major crimes unit is running another investigation into the murder.
