Two police officers who died responding to a call at an Innisfil, Ont., home did not draw their firearms before they were shot, Ontario’s police watchdog said Thursday, as grieving friends and colleagues remembered the two men as kind and dedicated.
The Special Investigations Unit had said a day earlier that there was an “exchange of gunfire” Tuesday night between the two officers and a young man, who also died in the shooting.
