A 16-year-old boy from Toronto died in hospital Tuesday morning after being shot by police officers in North York during a gunfight on Sunday night, the province’s police watchdog says.
In a news release issued Tuesday, the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said a Toronto police officer stopped an Infiniti car over a Highway Traffic Act infraction in the area of Sheppard Avenue W. and Bathurst Street at around 11 p.m. that night.
“There was an exchange of gunfire during which two police officers discharged their firearms,” the SIU said in the release. “The male was struck and was taken to hospital where he passed away this morning.”
