SIU gives most-detailed account to date of Danforth mass shooting, finds gunman killed himself in shootout with police
(The Star Movies)
 


In the deadly aftermath of July’s Danforth shooting, Toronto police officers shot at gunman Faisal Hussain because they reasonably “feared for their lives and for the lives of others,” Ontario’s police watchdog concludes in a detailed report released Wednesday, clearing the officers of any criminal wrongdoing.The Special Investigations Unit’s report — which presents the most detailed official account of the fatal July 22 shooting to date — confirms Hussain, 29, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He shot himself in front of the Danforth Church after unleashing a spray of bullets down the patio-lined Danforth Ave., killing two and injuring 13 others. Next to his body, police found a Smith and Wesson .40 calibre handgun and two fully loaded handgun magazines, according to the report. The SIU report offers a thorough narrative of what happened that night and includes a diagram of the crime scene and previously unreleased photographs taken in the wake of the mass shooting. The watchdog probe drew on interviews with seven officers, 15 civilian witnesses, photo and video footage, a Toronto police firearms report, autopsy findings and more. “After a thorough investigation and for the following reasons, I am satisfied that Mr. Hussain took his own life and that no TPS officer involved in the incident committed a criminal offence,” SIU Director Tony Loparco wrote in the report. “Indeed, in this case there is no evidence that the responding officers’ actions were anything but commendable in the face of truly perilous circumstances.”Read more:Police found AK-47 ammunition in Danforth shooter’s apartment, court documents sayDanforth shooting victim Reese Fallon’s family says she won’t be forgottenWho was the Danforth shooter?
