A very scary situation took place at a Winnipeg 7- Eleven.
Last night at around 5:30 p.m., police were called to a robbery at the 7-Eleven on the corner of Ellice Avenue and Arlington Street.
A video was taken which shows the suspect coming out of the 7-Eleven armed with a weapon. When officers faced the suspect, they were forced to shoot him.
Imagine getting that kick in the teeth after having to deal with this. My heart breaks for members of the Winnipeg Police Service. They are dealing with a city under siege.
Ellice ave. at Arlington this evening.😔
