Const. Andrew Hong was “a husband, a father and a son,” a visibly emotional Toronto police chief James Ramer said late Monday, his voice trembling over the death of an officer colleagues described as a “gentle giant.”
A Toronto police traffic officer on a lunch break in a Mississauga Tim Horton’s was shot dead in what police are calling an unprovoked “ambush”— the beginning of a chaotic shooting rampage spread out over three cities that left a trail of five victims before the “armed and dangerous” suspect was himself gunned down by police in a Hamilton cemetery.
The shooting inside the Tim Horton’s was captured on video; after he shot the officer, the gunman tried to disarm him. Led by Peel police, the investigation is in its infancy, with police waiting several hours Monday before releasing details about a confusing sequence of events that saw hordes of police officers and bystanders flood separate shooting scenes as some devastated officers flocked to where their colleague was shot to comfort one another.The shooting began just after 2:15 p.m.
At 5:30 p.m., Peel Regional Police spokesperson Heather Cannon said a public safety alert was no longer in effect, saying: “There is no threat to public safety.”
