Indigenous Leaders Demand Probe into Police Killing of Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation Woman
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Canada, Indigenous leaders are demanding an investigation into the
fatal police shooting of an Indigenous woman during a wellness check.
Twenty-six-year-old Chantel Moore was killed Thursday in Edmundston, New
Brunswick, by an officer who had responded to a call from one of Moore's
loved ones. Police allege Moore threatened the officer with a knife. The
officer then shot her five times. Moore had recently moved to Edmundston
to be closer to her 5-year-old daughter. She was a member of the
Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation.
