The Independent Investigation Unit has dropped its investigation into a man who suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound during his arrest in Riding Mountain National Park.

On July 22, RCMP responded to a home in Riding Mountain National Park, where a barricaded man was believed to be armed.

When the man surrendered to police, officers noticed the gunshot wound and the man was taken to the hospital.

Further investigation determined that the injury was self-inflicted, and that RCMP had no connection to the gunshot.
