Toronto police say one of their K9 service dogs named Bingo was shot and killed while searching for a suspect with a gun on Tuesday night. The suspect involved in the shooting was also shot by a Toronto police officer prompting the province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) to investigate.
The SIU, known as Ontario’s police watchdog, said at 7:45 p.m. officers had gone to an apartment on Dixon Road in an attempt to “arrest the suspect for second-degree murder.”
The SIU said the 44-year-old man fled the address and shot at police officers.
Officers then found the suspect in the backyard of a residence on Kingsview Boulevard, near Dixon Road and Kipling Avenue, the SIU said.
