The Independent Investigations Office of BC (IIO) says it is investigating after an officer-involved shooting that took place Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

The IIO says that initial information given by the RCMP\u2019s Surrey Provincial Operations Support Unit (SPOSU) stated that officers were called out after a report that a distressed man had left a home, located at Melrose Drive near Grovesner Road, with an edged weapon.

The man was taken to hospital with serious injuries, the news release says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe IIO was notified of the incident shortly after it occurred and has commenced an investigation,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

The BC RCMP says it was initially called out shortly before 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
