Canadian police officer shot dead in Toronto
An official reported that a police officer was murdered on Monday when a shooter opened fire west of Toronto.

According to the local media, there was another death as well, and the violence also resulted in at least three injuries.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford posted on Twitter, "I'm shocked by today's senseless violence, especially the killing of a Toronto police officer."

Police in Mississauga, Ontario, alerted the public about an armed suspect who had driven away from a strip mall after a shooting just before 4:30 pm (2030 GMT).

After the second incident in nearby Milton, police there announced shortly after that they had captured the culprit.

Police in Mississauga told AFP two people had been shot, but would not confirm that one of them had died.

Milton police meanwhile tweeted that “1 person has been pronounced deceased at the scene and 2 others have been transported to the hospital.”

Canada has been rocked by several incidents of mass violence in recent years, including a stabbing spree in a remote Saskatchewan Indigenous community on September 4 that left 10 dead and 18 wounded.

One of the suspects, in that case, was found dead, believed to have been murdered by his brother, who was later arrested after a four-day manhunt and died in custody.

A gunman masquerading as a policeman also killed 22 people in Nova Scotia in April 2020 — including a police officer — two years after a driver of a van killed 11 pedestrians in Toronto.

And another shooter killed six worshippers at a Quebec City mosque in January 2017.
