Police Officer Shot
A police officer in Windsor, Ont. was shot by two teens, and unconfirmed reports say he died as a result of his injuries on Friday afternoon.
"An officer has been shot outside the Mac's Milk convenience store at the corner of Seminole (Street) and Pillette (Road) in downtown Windsor," CHYR radio reporter Jamie Tawil told CTV Newsnet Friday.
The shooting reportedly occurred just after 2 p.m. but what sparked the gunfire is not known.
"The body is there covered by a blanket, although police won't officially tell us that the officer has died," AM 800 reporter Patty Handysides told CTV Newsnet.
Two suspects, one in his 20s and another believed to be 18, are reportedly in custody as a result of a massive police search.
Unconfirmed reports say police are searching for a third suspect using an RCMP helicopter and police canine units.
"It's a massive search right now," Tawil said.
Two schools near the scene of the shooting have been locked down and residents have been asked to stay inside while the search is on-going.
Windsor police are refusing to comment on the incident and further details are not immediately available.
Lloyd Menard was in the store at the time of the shooting. He says at first people didn't believe it was real. But he says his truck was covered in blood.
"At first, a couple of people thought they were just like poppers on the ground, but no, it was actually gunfire. My truck's got blood all over it, so those kids must have shot him right there."
An employee of the convenience store, identified as Emma, says she saw two young men in the parking lot when suddenly she heard shots.
"We heard gunshots and a guy was bleeding from his mouth and then we were told he was a policeman," she said.
As news of the shooting circulates around the southwestern Ontario city, people in the community are shocked.
"The whole city is ... very alarmed right now," Handysides said.
"This is very rare, indeed, for Windsor. Even though we are right across the river from Detroit, gun crime is low in Windsor and certainly death by gun is very, very rare," she told CTV's Newsnet Friday afternoon.
