On Tuesday morning, the SIU issued a release with further information about the incident.
The SIU said officers were sent to a home in the area to deal with a disturbance call.
The SIU said officers were met at the home by a man who was holding an “edged weapon.” The police watchdog said that an officer fired his gun and that the man with the edged weapon was shot.
That man was then taken to hospital where he died.
The SIU is an independent agency that investigates incidents involving police that have resulted in death, serious injury or alleged sexual assault.
