An RCMP officer who shot and killed a man at Red Earth Cree Nation two years ago acted within the law.

That's the conclusion of the province's Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT), which released its report into the shooting on Thursday.

The mandate of the police oversight body includes investigating any cases where death happens as a result of the actions of police officers.

SIRT's report says officers were responding to reports of gunshots at Red Earth Cree Nation, about 290 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon, on the morning of Dec. 19, 2023.
