Treaty #3 Upset With Shooting in Kenora

Grand Council Treaty 3 has identified the victim of Monday’s shooting incident in downtown Kenora as 39-year-old Helen Proulx.
OPP responded to a domestic dispute and an officer arrived and was confronted by a woman wielding a knife, resulting in shots being fired.
Treaty 3 officials say Proulx was shot twice by an OPP officer.
Treaty 3 questions the use of excessive force and notes Kenora is infamous for poor relations between law enforcement and First Nations people.
Chief Diane Kelly is demanding changes to the way investigations are handled regarding incidents involving Treaty 3 members.
Kelly adds that they want the SIU to conduct a transparent and procedurally fair investigation of the incident.
Proulx remains in Hospital in stable condition.
A Candlelight vigil is planned for tonight (Thursday) in Kenora.
