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.
"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."
