"I think all police officers know [when] they put on their uniform in the morning, they go to work — in the back of their minds there's always that possibility that something could happen, they could get hurt, injured, possibly be killed.

The chase for the suspect ended about two hours after the first of two reported shootings when Ontario's police watchdog says officers shot the man, who had been tracked down to a Hamilton cemetery. They say they notified the alleged suspect's next-of-kin last night and are awaiting an autopsy.
