St. John’s radio station VOCM is saying that a man was shot to death when he produced a gun while members of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) were investigating threats against Premier Paul Davis. The station says that at least one member of the RNC went to the home of the 59-year-old man in the community of Mitchells Brook on Sunday. There had been what is called a perceived threat via social media. VOCM was told that the officer was only inside the home for a few minutes when the man he was questioning drew a shotgun. That’s when the officer fired his weapon. It does not appear that the victim fired his gun at any point during the incident. The officer was not injured.
