The province’s Special Investigations Unit was called in after London Police officers shot and killed an eighteen year old man late Tuesday evening.
Samantha Gurrey lives three doors away from 86 Wellesley Crescent, where the incident took place, “around eleven, there were probably about twenty police vehicles that came down our street.”
The SIU said police were called to the semi-detached home for a report of domestic violence.
One neighbour, who didn’t want to be identified, described to CTV News how events unfolded. He said two police cars arrived at scene just after 11, and the officers rushed to the door, banging on it loudly. When the door started to open, they pushed their way in, yelling ‘down on the ground, down on the ground.’ Then, shortly after, shots were fired.
