There’s increased police presence in Scarborough's Port Union area today after a man carrying an air rifle was shot dead by officers near an elementary school on Thursday.

reports of a man carrying a firearmOfficers located the man several hundred metres away from William G. Davis Public school and “an interaction” occurred.

"The man was struck, and the man was pronounced deceased at the scene. At this time, the SIU has not yet identified the man," SIU spokesperson Kristy Denette said yesterday. William G. Davis went into lockdown and children told CP24 they huddled under their desks during that time. The SIU confirmed Friday morning that a 27-year-old man had died and that he was carrying a pellet gun, not a BB gun as earlier reports suggested.

Omg my old hood

I had to look to see what a pellet gun was.

Was he from previlige class? Just asking

After the fact ? Yeah ok

If a man who had a BB gun was shot fatally by two officers it should be looked into. was there really no other way police could have avoided shooting him or at least shoot in the leg .

I'm sorry but I don't find this TPS statement in relation to a fatal shooting acceptable: 'We have no understanding at this point in time, what was about to happen, or what could have happened. So I don't want to speculate..' Where is the accountability?! DefundThePolice

To those saying that 'it was only a BB gun or airsoft'. Can you easily tell the difference between these or a more high calibre rifle? The question should be why was the man carrying it to begin with? Because all of these below would be what they could have encountered.

🤗 For how long?🤭 Or - 🤗 24 X 7 ?🤭 🙏 It was just a question...😥

serious lack of judgment.

So all it takes to get shot by police is to walk with a bb gun on the street? WTF. There is no danger to anyone. No need to use lethal force.

Stop the fear porn, this is daily in Scarborough, why do you keep tying it to schools?
