TORONTO – Ontario’s police watchdog is investigating after a man was fatally shot by a Toronto police officer multiple times at an east-end train station early Saturday morning.
The Special Investigations Unit says Toronto police officers were called to the Danforth GO Station for reports of an armed man at the station.
The SIU says officers found the man in a stairwell leading up to Platform 3 soon after arriving.
It says “an interaction ensued” and one of the officers fired his gun, striking the suspect multiple times.
The man was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, where the SIU says he later died.
The SIU says three investigators and two forensic investigators have been assigned to the case, and a post-mortem for the suspect is scheduled on Sunday.
The SIU is an independent agency that investigates the conduct of police officers that may have resulted in death, serious injury, sexual assault or the discharge of a firearm at a person.
