The province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is investigating after a man was fatally shot by Toronto police early Sunday morning at Danforth GO Station.
Toronto police were called to the station shortly after 1:30 a.m. for reports of a person armed with a gun.
Officers located a man in the stairwell of the station.
According to the SIU, there was an interaction during which one officer fired their weapon multiple times, striking the man.
Paramedics found the man suffering from several gunshot wounds and without vital signs inside the tunnel connecting the platforms.
He was rushed to St. Michael’s Hospital in life-threatening condition, with CPR in progress, and was later pronounced dead.
SIU spokesperson Monica Hudon said investigators are working to understand the sequence of events.
“It is still very early in the investigation,” Hudon said. “We are collecting evidence, reviewing video, and speaking with officers to determine exactly what transpired.”
