Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit is now handling the fatal shooting of Bruce Frogg at Anicinabe Park
A Northwestern Ontario community is in shock after the police shooting death of a First Nations man in a Kenora, Ont., RV park Tuesday afternoon.’s Special Investigations Unit is now handling the fatal shooting of Bruce Frogg at Anicinabe Park. The SIU took over the case after being notified of the death by the Ontario Provincial Police late Tuesday. The agency is mandated to investigate when someone is injured or killed in a police interaction.
“One officer shot the man. The man was taken to hospital where he was pronounced deceased,” the SIU said in the statement. “He was a person who loved the land, and he always stayed in the community. He was always out hunting. He always said, I’ll never leave Wawakapewin, it’s my home. Because he would rather be on the land than out in the urban areas,” Ms. Meekis-Frogg said about the father who leaves behind daughters.
It eventually fell under ownership of the City of Kenora, said Ms. Cameron, and has been operated as a summer park with recreational vehicle camping and swimming on the historic Lake of Woods for decades.
