Sask. police watchdog investigating after man dies in Deschambault Lake RCMP shooting
Saskatchewan's Serious Incident Response Team is investigating an RCMP shooting near Deschambault Lake that left one man dead. Police say just before 9 a.m. Friday, two Deschambault RCMP officers encountered five people in a wooded area near Deschambault Lake, about 400 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon. A confrontation occurred between the two officers and a man in the group, and the officers fired their guns, hitting the man, a Saturday news release from RCMP said. The officers tried to give the man medical assistance, but he died at the scene, RCMP say. Police say his family has been notified. They did not release his name or age. Neither of the officers were injured. Police say they seized a gun and several replica guns at the scene, and arrested the four other people. Two were later released without charges. A 31-year-old man from Pelican Narrows was charged with recklessly discharging a firearm. He was also arrested on an outstanding warrant related to a different investigation from July by Deschambault Lake RCMP. A 20-year-old woman from Deschambault Lake was also charged for breach of an undertaking, which police say was linked to the same July investigation. Both people will appear in court on August 11. The Serious Incident Response Team — the civilian-led provincial police watchdog agency, which is responsible for investigating serious incidents involving police in the province — has been notified of the incident by RCMP, and is investigating the circumstances of the shooting, Saturday's news release said.

64-year-old woman seriously injured after being struck by LRT in Scarborough
A woman has been seriously injured after being struck by an Eglinton Crosstown LRT vehicle in Scarborough on Saturday afternoon. A 64-year-old woman is in life-threatening condition after being struck by an Eglinton Crosstown LRT vehicle during testing in Scarborough on Saturday afternoon. It happened on the raised platform along the centre of Eglinton Avenue East, west of Pharmacy Avenue. Police said the call came in just before 1 p.m. Acting Insp. Brian Maslowski told reporters that the woman was standing on the platform when, for some unknown reason, she crossed the path of the westbound LRT vehicle that was conducting tests. Paramedics initially told CP24 the woman was rushed to a trauma centre with serious, possibly life-threatening injuries. LRT collision Police are on the scene of a collision involving an Eglinton Crosstown LRT vehicle in Scarborough on Saturday, Aug. 9, 2025. (CP24) Maslowski said police were told the driver of the LRT tried his 'best to warn this pedestrian, but unfortunately it did not end well.' He added that initial information suggests the driver honked the horn and slowed the train. 'We're looking at everything,' Maslowski said when asked if speed was a factor. 'It's far too early to tell. All the data is going to be gathered up.' Maslowski said traffic investigators are currently gathering evidence, including video from the LRT and nearby businesses, to determine what transpired. He urged pedestrians, especially those along the LRT line, to cross the street at designated areas. 'Also at any time, please be aware of your surroundings. And many times, mostly always, it's good to limit any distractions such as your phone or whatnot,' Maslowski said.

As this matter is under investigation, we would refer you to Toronto Police Services for further details,' the transit agency said. Meanwhile, Metrolinx, in a statement, said it is working with TTC and emergency services to investigate the details of the incident.
