TL:DR
Okay, so boom: York Region cops tried to pull over a whip they thought was snatched near Kennedy and Steeles. Driver wasn't having it, crashed into some cop cars, and then a cop went and shot the driver near Kennedy and Bonis. Driver's chillin' in the hospital, not dead tho. Now the SIU's all up in it, tryna figure out what's good.
The Deets
Alright, listen up, fam. York Regional Police were on the lookout for a potentially stolen car. They tried to stop this ride near Kennedy Road and Steeles Avenue in Markham, but the driver was like, "Nah, I'm good," and dipped. Apparently, they bumped into some cop cars during the getaway. Things escalated real quick, and eventually, a York Region officer shot the 30-year-old driver near Kennedy Road and Bonis Avenue in Scarborough. No cap.
The driver, who was riding solo, is now catching Z's in the hospital with injuries that ain't life-threatening, so that's a W. But because a weapon was discharged, the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) – they're like the police police – is all over this case. They're tryna piece together exactly what went down and if everything was on the up-and-up.
The SIU sent in the whole squad: four investigators, two forensic investigators (they're like the CSI of cop stuff), and a collision reconstructionist (they figure out how car crashes happened). So yeah, it's a whole investigation vibe right now. We'll keep you posted when we get more tea.
