The deceased person was a Toronto police officer. According to AP News, the suspect also died following an interaction with police.
Premier Doug Ford expressed his sympathies following the tragedies, saying he was “horrified” by the “senseless violence” and the killing of a Toronto police officer.
Like all Ontarians, I’m horrified by today’s senseless violence, including the killing of a Toronto police officer.
I’m so grateful to law enforcement for bringing this situation to an end. May justice for those killed and injured be swift.
