Fatality on Winnipeg's Perimeter Pine Creek Murder Charge Laid Brochet Standoff Resolved on Facebook The RCMP turned to Facebook to resolve a barricaded persons incident in Manitoba’s North. Officers were called out to a home in Brochet Sunday, on a complaint of a man who’d allegedly committed an assault and was holed up in a home with the victim and a weapon. Patrol officers couldn’t talk the suspect out, so the Emergency Response team was dispatched. A woman was able to escape from the home. Phone service wasn’t available so negotiators turned to Facebook. After an all night session on the internet, the suspect surrendered. A 37-year old man from Brochet faces several charges. No Charges in RCMP Shooting in God's Lake An outside police force and an out-of-province prosecutor have concluded that RCMP officers shouldn’t face charges in a fatal shooting this past spring.

They then forwarded their conclusions to a Crown Prosecutor in Ontario. Between the two, they decided there is no evidence to support a criminal charge. A coroner’s inquest is expected to be held. In the early morning hours March 15th, 2011, Duck approached the officers carrying a gun. Duck was shot twice and died at the nursing station in God’s Lake.
