CAUGHT ON VIDEO: Male in distress leads to fatal police-involved shooting in Mississauga

The province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is investigating after a 62 year old man was fatally shot by a Peel Police officer on Saturday evening, June 20.
Around 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, tactical and K9 officers attended an apartment unit at 3425 Morningstar Drive in Malton to check on the well-being of a man in crisis.
The man barricaded himself inside the unit, and officers were able to communicate with him for a period of time.
“Shortly after communication stopped, officers breached the door and entered the unit,” the SIU said.
“An interaction occurred which included officers deploying a conducted energy weapon at the man, as well as firing plastic projectiles from an Anti Riot Weapon ENfield. When these had no effect, an officer discharged a firearm and the man was struck.”
The man was pronounced dead at 8:38 p.m.
