Man suffered 'graze wound' to leg, but died of self-inflicted gunshot wound, said police watchdog
Ontario's police watchdog has released stunning details about the October evening two South Simcoe police officers were shot and killed in an Innisfil house.
The report stated that a woman called police asking them to remove a family member from the home who had broken her eyeglasses and punched a hole in the wall. Upon ringing the doorbell they were invited inside the home. To the officers’ right, as they entered the home, was a flight of stairs to the basement, which was dark. To the left was a set of five stairs leading to the upstairs level.
The officer fired 12 to 14 rounds before reloading and calling out, “police.” There was no response. The officer looked down the stairs and saw Doncaster in a pool of blood with a rifle in his hands. The officer on the scene and other first responders administered life saving efforts to Russell and Northrup before they were taken to the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre in Barrie where Northrup died. Russell was airlifted to a Toronto trauma centre, before succumbing to his injuries.
Near his body, on the floor, was a Sergi Gravrilovich Simonov semi-automatic rifle. In an open gun safe in the basement bedroom, a .22 calibre semi-automatic rifle was found with three viable 7.62mm cartridges in the vicinity.
