Ontario's police watchdog is probing a police-involved shooting in Kingston following an incident that left a 28-year-old man seriously injured. The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) was alerted to the Waaban Crossing bridge at approximately 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday after receiving a call from a distressed individual. Upon arrival, police officers encountered the man and engaged in an interaction, during which two officers discharged their firearms.
The man was struck multiple times and transported to a hospital with severe injuries. Four SIU investigators and two forensic experts are now handling the case. The SIU has recovered two firearms belonging to the officers and a firearm possessed by the injured man. The SIU encourages anyone with information about the incident, including photographs or video footage, to contact their lead investigator at 1-800-787-8529.
