Eyewitness describes Forthton shooting


An Ottawa-area man who was fatally shot in a confrontation with police near here Friday had both hands on his steering wheel when he died, according to a witness who said she watched the incident from her apartment window. 

Julie Young said she saw a police officer fire two shots at the driver’s side of the pickup truck, adding the truck was “boxed in” by Ontario Provincial Police vehicles at the time.

“The vehicle was not moving,” said Young.

Ontario Provincial Police officers shot and killed a man Friday night after he reportedly struck an officer with his pickup truck.

The OPP says two police officers suffered minor injuries in the incident, which resulted from a chase after the maFont sizen bolted from a routine check for impaired drivers in Brockville. Full Story from Recorder.ca
