BROCKVILLE – Ontario’s police watchdog is investigating the death of a 28-year-old man fatally shot by police south of Ottawa.
The Special Investigations Unit says Ontario Provincial Police went to a home in Brockville, Ont. around 8 p.m. Thursday to carry out a search.
The SIU says police encountered a man when they walked in, and one officer fired a shot, hitting the man.
It says the man was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The watchdog agency says it has assigned four investigators and two forensic investigators to the case, with an autopsy scheduled for Saturday.
OPP have said they were helping local police carry out a search.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 7, 2026.
Note to readers:This is a corrected story. An earlier version mistakenly said Brockville is east of Ottawa.
