Ontario’s police watchdog has been called to investigate a stand-off between a barricaded man and police in Six Nations of the Grand River.
The Special Investigations Unit says the 40-year-old man was shot multiple times during an exchange of gunfire between him and police.
He had barricaded himself in a home on Chiefswood Road in Ohsweken.
In video posted to social media, OPP Sgt. Ed Sanchuk said at around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, multiple OPP units and York Regional Police Aviation Services were called to assist Six Nations police “after its officers came under weapons fire.”
“A barricaded individual continued to discharge a firearm at police officers overnight,” Sanchuk said.
