"The Special Investigations Unit had been looking into the shooting that took place in the early morning of June 11 in a condominium complex on Buchanan Drive. The SIU says York Regional Police officers were investigating a disturbance at a unit and they knocked on the door several times while hearing "concerning sounds" coming from inside. The watchdog says a building security guard unlocked the door and the officers saw a woman lying face down on a massage table, uninjured."
"The SIU says a man then came out of a bedroom and stabbed the woman multiple times despite orders from police to stop, before an officer fired at him once and struck him in the head. The 34-year-old man later died in hospital and the SIU has determined that the officer who shot him used reasonable force under the circumstances."
Early on June 11 in a Markham condominium, officers responded to a disturbance after hearing concerning sounds and a building security guard unlocked the unit. Officers initially saw a woman lying face down on a massage table uninjured, then a man emerged from a bedroom and stabbed the woman multiple times despite police orders to stop. An officer fired one shot, striking the man in the head; the 34-year-old later died in hospital. The woman was taken to hospital and treated for stab wounds and a knife was recovered. The SIU concluded the officer used reasonable force and declined criminal charges.
