“Toronto police have mobilized all available resources, and I can assure the public all our available resources have been brought in to address this tragic situation and to investigate this situation,” Yuen said Monday afternoon.

Carlos Rojas was in the area of the standoff and witnessed the whole thing.

“I see this Ryder van, very fast, then I see the police car after him,” Rojas told Global News. “Police made him stop, then the police told him to come out of the car.”

Rojas said when he exited the van, he pointed something at the police officer.

“So the officer pulled out his gun, so they’re both facing each other… asking each other to drop it.”

He said it took the police around one minute to take the object away from him.
