Toronto Police Shooting

Toronto Constable Marc Pinizzotto, 43, was shot and killed June 11 during an early-morning high-risk operation tied to the investigation of a March shooting attack that damaged the U.S. Consulate in Toronto. Police Chief Myron Demkiw said Pinizzotto was executing a search warrant at a North York apartment when gunfire erupted; he later died at a hospital. Authorities said one 19-year-old suspect was hospitalized in critical condition and another suspect, identified in some reports as 19-year-old Zara Jabbi, remained at large and was considered armed and dangerous. The killing prompted a major police response and public show of support as officers and residents lined Toronto streets while Pinizzotto’s body was escorted to the coroner’s office.
