Peel police investigate after Toronto police officer killed in GTA shootings

Peel police are leading a multi-jurisdictional investigation into shootings across the Greater Toronto Area that left two people dead, including a Toronto police officer, and injured three others.

Nearly two hours after the first of two reported shootings Monday afternoon, Ontario’s police watchdog says officers shot the male suspect, who had been tracked down in a Hamilton cemetery.

The Special Investigations Unit is investigating after the man died at the scene.

Police have not released the name of the suspect they say is responsible for the shootings that left 48-year-old Const. Andrew Hong dead and initiated a provincewide active shooter alert.

Officers say Hong was killed on his lunch break in an “unprovoked” attack while training in Mississauga and another person was injured.

Toronto Police Chief James Ramer says Hong is survived by his wife, two children and his parents.

Officials say they believe the same suspect is responsible for a second shooting less than an hour later at a Milton auto body shop that killed one person and injured two others.
