TORONTO – An off-duty Toronto police officer was shot Saturday night in the leg after he recognized a man wanted for murder.
Toronto police say the off-duty officer called for backup and a chase ensued between the suspect and uniformed officers, at which point a shot was fired around King and Bathurst streets.
The off-duty officer sustained a serious but non-life-threatening wound to his thigh and has been released from hospital.
Police were not able to say whether the shooting was accidental.
They say the 30-year-old man from Toronto was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for an attempted murder involving a firearm in the city’s downtown.
The alleged shooter is now facing a new attempted murder charge and numerous firearms charges.
