RCMP are still collecting information and evidence in connection to a police-involved shooting in Gibsons June 26.
RCMP senior media relations officer Sgt. Peter Thiessen said on Monday there was no timeline in terms of a further update on the case.
"There is still lots of things we are looking at - it's an active investigation," Thiessen said.
A 34-year-old man, identified by Lower Mainland media outlets as Leonard Kirkham was shot twice by a Sunshine Coast RCMP officer.
On June 26 just after 10:20 p.m., two Sunshine Coast RCMP officers attended a residence in the 600 block of Crucil Road at the request of Langley RCMP regarding a complaint of uttering threats on a social networking site.
According to police, officers met with the 34-year-old suspect in the presence of his father for approximately 20 minutes about the complaint inside the residence. While the police officers spoke with the suspect he obtained a claw hammer and advanced towards the officers holding the hammer above his head. On the basis of the suspect's actions one of the officers discharged his sidearm striking the suspect twice.
Paramedics were called and the man was taken to St. Mary's Hospital and then airlifted to a Lower Mainland hospital where he underwent surgery.
Police have not released the man's name or any details on if any charges will be laid in the case.
