“The (Special Investigations Unit) continues to investigate, and as such, we are unable to comment further.”
The SIU is investigating because an 18-year-old man was fatally shot by police responding to the stabbings.
When first announcing its probe on Wednesday, the SIU said preliminary information suggests that police found a man “with a knife in his hand” as well as a girl and another man with stab wounds. Another man was also inside the home but was not injured, the SIU said.
Following an “interaction,” the SIU said two officers shot at the man, who was taken to hospital and pronounced dead.
