An inquest has been ordered into the shooting death of a man on the Muskowekwan First Nation in Saskatchewan.

RCMP officers shot and killed Delbert Kenneth Pelletier, 44, on November 13. They said he fired shots at them after an hours-long standoff at his home.

But family members said the RCMP went too far. They said the officers should have left Pelletier alone.
