Man shot by police in Hamilton has died: SIU [Video]

A man who was critically injured in a police-involved shooting in Hamilton late Sunday afternoon has died in hospital, says the province’s police watchdog.

On Sunday, Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) released new information about the incident, which happened shortly after 5 p.m. at an apartment building at 1964 Main St. W., just south of Osler St., in the Ainslie Wood West neighbourhood.

The civilian agency said that a resident had contacted Hamilton Police Service (HPS) to report a man “acting in a threatening manner.”

While on the 5th floor, police got into some sort of interaction with a person of interest and two officers fired their guns striking the man, the SIU said.

The victim, who has only been identified as a 43-year-old man, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries. He was pronounced dead at 12:47 a.m. on Sunday.

An autopsy is scheduled to take place on Monday …
