The officer, a 29-year-old who has been employed with the police service for five years, was shot while conducting a robbery investigation in the area of Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue.In a news release issued on Thursday morning, the Special Investigations Unit said two men approached the officers and at one point, one of the men shot an officer and fled.
Toronto police chief Myron Demkiw said the injured officer sustained a gunshot wound to the abdomen. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, Demkiw added. “We saw a young man sitting over here against the wall in handcuffs… My daughter was just coming home from work from Yonge and Eglinton. She heard all of the fire alarms and the police and when she came home, she saw the boy actually being cuffed. And he was quite young,” she said.Billionaire businessman Frank Stronach facing new chargesManitoba man acquitted 50 years after murder convictionA health official has confirmed a child in Ontario has died after they came in contact with a rabid bat.
