The province's police watchdog is investigating after a 62-year-old man died in a police-involved shooting in Mississauga on Saturday evening. Patten said officers were in constant communication with the man until just before 8 p.m., and then "no further communication was able to be made." Due to his "extensive medical history" and lack of communication for almost 15 minutes, Patten said officers made the decision to enter the residence. An interaction then occurred between officers and the man in which shots were fired, Patten said, and the man was pronounced dead shortly after. The Special Investigations Unit investigates cases involving police where there has been a death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
