A 30-year-old man is dead and two Peel Regional Police officers and another civilian were wounded after an incident late Friday night in Mississauga, Ontario’s police watchdog says.
The Special Investigations Unit says the man was shot a number of times and pronounced dead at the scene.
Peel Regional Police said Friday night that one officer was shot and the other was stabbed.
The SIU says the injuries to the officers and the civilian are not life-threatening.
The incident happened after police responded to a call on Queen Frederica Drive, near Dundas Street East and Dixie Road, and “interacted” with a man.
The SIU has assigned five investigators and three forensic investigators to probe the circumstances of the incident. Three subject officers and seven witness officers have been designated.
The agency wants to hear from anyone with information about the incident.
The SIU is an arm’s length agency which investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
