Police officer shot, killed in Canada

A police officer was shot and died on Tuesday while attending to an accident about 100 kilometres south of Toronto, according to Canadian authorities.

"I unfortunately inform that (Ontario Provincial Police) Provincial Constable Grzegorz Pierzchala was slain today while valiantly serving in the course of duty," Commissioner Thomas Carrique said on Twitter.

Pierzchala "was investigating a motor vehicle incident when he was shot and murdered this afternoon" in the tiny hamlet of Hagersville, according to the provincial police of southern Ontario.

The 28-year-old officer had been with the force for more than a year. After being shot, he passed away in the hospital.

Police said that they had captured two suspects at a press conference.

On Tuesday night, Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada, expressed his condolences at the "heartbreaking news."

In contrast to the United States, Canada has had more shootings in recent years.

On October 21, 2022, the government put a prohibition on buying, selling, and transferring pistols as a direct response to the shootings.
