Ontario’s police watchdog is investigating after a Sault Ste. Marie Police Service (SSMPS) officer shot a 37-year-old man in the city’s west end on Saturday night.
“(The) officer discharged their firearm during a call for service in the 0-100 block of Second Line West,” SSMPS said in a news release on Sunday.
At about 10:30 p.m. on May 11, officers were “flagged down” by people who told officers a 37-year-old was harassing them, according to Sault police.
The Ontario Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said officers encountered the man near the Circle K location on Second Line West.
Sault police said officers attempted to get the man to leave the area.
