Tuesday, May 30, 2006 at 13:37
La Ronge Provincial Court is the setting for an inquest today examining the death of a northern man at the hands of the RCMP.
38-year-old Shawn Martinot died during an armed standoff with police on August 30th, 2004.
It was shortly before then that he walked through the lobby of a local hotel with a rifle, and then staged a 17-hour standoff with local officers.
He ultimately was shot after officers say he approached them brandishing a rifle.
The hearing is open to the public.
