Toronto Man shot by police outside busy Scarborough Wal-Mart

A man is in hospital after he was shot by police at a busy Scarborough shopping mall on Thursday afternoon.

It happened outside a Wal-Mart store at the Agincourt Mall, at Sheppard Avenue and Kennedy Road, shortly before 5 p.m.

“There was an interaction between the police and the man resulting in the man being shot,” Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit said in a statement.

The SIU, which probes police-related incidents involving death, serious injury and allegations of sexual assault, is investigating the shooting.

Paramedics arrived on scene moments later, finding the man in life-threatening condition, suffering from two gunshot wounds to his abdomen. He was rushed to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre with a police escort.

A Walmart employee, who did not want to be identified for fear of reprisal, told the Star the man was a store employee.

The man was behind the store, near the loading dock area south of Bonis Ave., when the shooting took place, the worker said. The employee was told by a store manager that the man was on his break when the gunfire rang out.
