The province's police watchdog, meanwhile, said OPP on the water near the marina 'spotted a personal watercraft that got their attention' at 1 p.m. Tuesday and that after police tried to stop the operator, the man headed to the marina, exited the watercraft and ran into some nearby bushes.
A perimeter was set up and an 'interaction' between police and the man saw one officer discharge an Anti-Riot Weapon Enfield and another discharge his firearm. The SIU says the 22-year-old man was hit by both and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Mississauga gets injunction against plaza owners in ‘disturbances' crackdown
The City of Mississauga has obtained an injunction against the owners of a plaza it says has been home to multiple 'disturbances' for two years. The city said in a notice Wednesday that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice granted its request for the court orders against the owners of Ridgeway Plaza, near Ridgeway Drive and Eglinton Avenue West, to crack down on 'nuisance gatherings.' Mississauga said in the notice that for two years, it has received several complaints, including large gatherings of more than 3,000 people, loud music and sound, parking lot and street racing, fights, and the use of illegal fireworks. 'The local City Councillors, the Mayor, and City staff, along with Peel Police have tried to work with the condominium corporation owners. To date, there has been no co-operation,' it said. 'The City is not targeting any specific groups or individuals; but rather is focused on ensuring public safety and reducing community disturbances.'

Story continues below advertisement Peel Regional Police will also be enforcing the order. 'Officers will be on-site to address any issues and, if necessary, may close the plaza, restrict surrounding streets, and remove individuals who refuse to comply with lawful orders. It's important to note that non-compliance may result in arrest,' the force said in a post on X. 'Public safety remains our top priority.' View full screen View full screen Previous Image Next Image Close Modal Gallery Part of the reason the city said it pursued the injunction was to prevent 'planned unsanctioned events' that may disrupt order and safety. Story continues below advertisement Those events are Pakistan Independence Day on Aug. 13 and 14, and Afghanistan Independence Day on Aug. 19. The injunction will be in place until 2 a.m. Aug. 15, and from noon on Aug. 19 until 2 a.m. on Aug. 20, subject to variation by court order. 'The City hopes that the condominium corporations named in the injunction orders will abide by their terms and work to prevent and/or manage any further nuisance gatherings at Ridgeway Plaza,' the city said. 'The City's goal is to make the plaza safe and enjoyable for all who visit and ensure the land and residents of the surrounding community are safe and respected.'

No one was seriously hurt in an incident Wednesday morning near Dufrost, Man., involving a train and two semi-trucks, RCMP say. Police said a semi travelling west on Highway 23 wasn't able to stop at a train crossing on time, so the driver swerved into the ditch to avoid a crash. A second semi, this one hauling gravel, crashed into the back end of the train and caught fire.
