No charges warranted in fatal shooting of man who stabbed officer, Ontario police watchdog says

Ontario’s police watchdog says no charges are warranted in the fatal shooting of a man reported to be in distress who stabbed an officer in May.

The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said Toronto police officers were called to a condo in the area of Yonge and Merton streets, south of Davisville Avenue, shortly after 9 p.m. on May 22.

Police received a call from a woman who advised that her son who had schizophrenia was suffering from mental distress and had just hit her. She said he did not have any weapons, but had access to knives in the unit.
