Ontario’s police watchdog has launched an investigation after a Halton police officer shot a man in Burlington, Ont., on Tuesday night.
The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) says the incident involved several officers who were engaging with a 43-year-old man during a disturbance call at an apartment complex in the area of Dynes Road and Prospect Street.
Investigators say officers interacted with a man brandishing a gun, and at one point a Halton officer discharging his firearm at the man.
