多伦多警员遭枪杀 SIU裁定还击警员毋须被起诉
【星岛综合报道】安省特别调查组(SIU)周五公布多伦多警员Pinizzotto今年6月执行搜查令期间遭枪杀的调查报告,指19岁疑犯Bennett在北约克一个住宅单位内,近距离向43岁紧急应变特遣队(ETF)警员Marc Pinizzotto连开3枪,导致对方死亡。另一名开枪还击的警员则毋须面对刑事指控。
事发于6月11日清晨,ETF警员到Black Creek Drive及Trethewey Drive一带执行搜查令,调查涉及枪械的案件。报告指,Marc Pinizzotto进入单位后,一名19岁男子突然从睡房出现并向他开枪。Marc Pinizzotto随即还击4枪,之后倒地;另一名警员则先后开枪14次。
Marc Pinizzotto送往Sunnybrook医院后证实不治。疑犯亦身中多枪,伤势危殆送院。事发时单位内另有4人,均没有受伤。
SIU总监Joseph Martino认为,警员开枪是为了自卫,当时面对持枪疑犯,别无选择,只能使用致命武力;另一名警员再次开枪时,亦有合理理由相信疑犯仍持有枪械,构成致命威胁,因此决定不提出刑事指控。
警方其后确认疑犯为Nicholas Bennett,并控以一级谋杀,案件将于11月4日再度提堂。
多伦多警队总长 Myron Demkiw表示,调查虽已结束,但警队失去Pinizzotto的伤痛并未减退,形容他是尽忠职守的同僚,将永远铭记其牺牲。
The Special Investigations Unit has concluded its independent investigation into the officer-involved shooting that occurred during the execution of a search warrant on June 11 and has cleared our officers. While this decision brings their investigation to a close, it does not diminish the profound loss our Service continues to feel. On that day, we lost Constable Marc Pinizzotto, a dedicated member of our Emergency Task Force, a respected colleague, and a friend. Marc gave his life in service to others, and his sacrifice will never be forgotten. The members of our Emergency Task Force are among the most highly trained and skilled officers in the country, and they routinely face dangerous and dynamic situations with professionalism, courage, and exceptional expertise. In the months since losing their colleague and friend, they have demonstrated tremendous resilience while continuing to serve the people of Toronto with dedication. I want to thank members of the public for your support during this difficult time and for continuing to keep Marc's family, friends, and loved ones in your thoughts. Your ongoing support has meant a great deal to our Service and to all those who knew and loved Marc.
