Police shoot and kill alleged carjacker at Departure Bay ferry terminal
NANAIMO — Police confirmed officers shot and killed a suspect during an arrest attempt at the Departure Bay ferry terminal Tuesday morning.
BC RCMP said they were trying to arrest a man allegedly involved in an earlier violent carjacking in southwest B.C. The car was tracked onto the ferry and police attempted a takedown once it was off the ferry.
In a release, police say the suspect “exited the vehicle, with what police believed was a firearm and shots were fired resulting in the male sustaining serious injuries.”
The man later died of his gunshot wounds.
