The incident place on October 18, 2023, outside a residence in Seaforth – during which a 35-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman sustained bullet wounds.
On the morning of the incident, law enforcement received a report of a stolen vehicle which was located outside of a residence in Seaforth. Officers approached, initiating an interaction that culminated in one of the officers discharging their firearm into the vehicle.
The vehicle fled the scene, a 35-year-old male passenger was later dropped off at a hospital in Clinton with bullet wounds. The fleeing vehicle was involved in another collision moments later before being abandoned.
The recent report from the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) concluded that the officer’s actions were deemed justified.
