IIO Concludes September 2025 Investigation into Police-Involved Shooting in Burnaby (2025-210)

Surrey, B.C. — The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) of BC has now completed its investigation into a police-involved shooting that occurred on September 1, 2025 (IIO 2025-210).

Around 3 p.m., Burnaby RCMP officers responded to a call about an altercation inside a residential building near the intersection of Dundas Street and Rosser Avenue.

After arriving, police located a man on the street outside the building who was in possession of a weapon.

There was an interaction, one officer discharged their firearm and the man was shot.

He was given aid at the location before being taken by ambulance to a hospital for assessment and treatment.

The IIO was notified about the incident shortly after it occurred and began investigating.

The chief civilian director has now reviewed the evidence collected by IIO investigators – including video footage, witness statements and medical records – and has determined that there are no reasonable grounds to believe that an officer may have committed an offence.

The IIO investigation is now concluded, and a public report will be published following conclusion of a related court process.
