The province’s Special Investigations Unit is investigating the circumstances surrounding a police-involved shooting yesterday in Windsor, leaving a 58-year-old man seriously injured.
Preliminary information suggests that at approximately 2:45 p.m. on September 18, 2025, a man reported to police that he wanted to harm himself. Officers attended a residence in the area of Stanley Street and Lillian Avenue and encountered the man in the backyard.
The man discharged his firearm in the direction of the officers and then went inside the residence.
Officers made attempts to negotiate with the man. When the man, who was still armed, came out of the residence, three officers discharged their firearms and the man was struck. He was then transported to hospital for treatment.
Three investigators and three forensic investigators have been assigned to the case.
The SIU is urging anyone who may have information about this investigation, including video or photos, to contact the lead investigator at 1-800-787-8529 or online at: https://siu.on.ca/en/appeals.php
