A man has died in hospital days after he was shot by responding officers in Markham following the attack of a woman.
York Regional Police (YRP) said officers were called to a condominium in the Buchanan Drive area near Hwy. 7 and Birchmount Road just after 4:30 a.m. for a welfare check on Wednesday.
Officers arrived on the scene and located a man “actively attacking” a woman. Police said the man was shot and transported to a trauma centre with life-threatening injuries.
The female victim was also rushed to a trauma centre with critical injuries sustained in the alleged assault. The woman remains in hospital in stable condition.
The Special Investigations Unit (SIU), now probing the case, said the man stabbed the woman.
On Friday, the SIU said the 34-year-old man died of his injuries.
A police-issued firearm and a knife were recovered from the scene while one subject official and three witness officials have been designated, the SIU said.
Editor’s note: A previous version of this story indicated that York police were treating the incident as domestic violence. They have since clarified the incident is not being treated as domestic violence.
