I did a quick search but founding nothing on the subject yet. Mods, I figure this should be under Toronto issues, though if a better place is found for it, please go ahead and move it. Edit: i also realize that there's a typo in the thread title, but I'm not certain how to change that.

Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair addressed the media at 11 a.m. today regarding the fatal police shooting of Sammy Yatim on a downtown streetcar early Saturday morning.
On July 27, just after midnight , a man died of a gunshot wound after officers fired at least nine shots into a streetcar at Dundas St. W. near Grace St., close to Trinity Bellwoods Park.
The man has been formally identified by Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit as 18-year-old Sammy Yatim.
The SIU has assigned six investigators and two forensic investigators to investigate the incident.
