CBC
Ontario's police watchdog says it is investigating after a man suffered life-threatening injuries in a police-involved shooting in Scarborough on Monday.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) says a spokesperson is heading to the scene.
The shooting happened in the area of Warden Avenue and Ellesmere Road, according to Toronto police. Officers were called to the area shortly after 3 p.m.
Toronto paramedics said they took a man with life-threatening injuries to hospital.
Police said Warden Avenue is closed between Canadian and Ellesmere roads as the investigation continues.
Police have provided no other details.
The SIU is an independent government agency that investigates the conduct of police officers in incidents that may have resulted in death, serious injury, sexual assault or the discharge of a firearm at a person.

Sarnia City Council will hold a special meeting Tuesday morning to respond to social media comments made by Coun. Bill Dennis, who criticized city spending on a new mural by Indigenous artist Kennady Osborne as “virtue signalling by woke politicians” — then made a series of comments in response to a reply from Aamjiwnaang Chief Janelle Nahmabin that some have characterized as unprofessional and aggressive.
