The province’s Special Investigations Unit has been called in after a man was shot and killed by two Halton police officers on Saturday morning at a residence in Oakville.
The SIU says at approximately 1:40 a.m., officers went to a residence on Stanbury Road after receiving a call about a stabbing.
The police watchdog says two officers found a man inside the home and shot him, but provided no further details as to what may have led up to the shooting.
The man, whose name has not yet been released, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Another man was located with serious injuries and was taken to hospital.
A post-mortem is scheduled for Sunday.
The SIU is an independent government agency that investigates the conduct of officials that may have resulted in death, serious injury, sexual assault, and/or the discharge of a firearm at a person.
