Two police officers who were killed during an exchange of gunfire with a suspect inside a home in Innisfil, Ont., north of Toronto, on Tuesday night have been identified.
Police Chief John Van Dyke formally identified the slain officers as Const. Devon Northrup, 33, and Const. Morgan Russell, 54, during a news conference on Wednesday afternoon.
Authorities previously said that the two officers responded to a disturbance call at a home in the area of 25th Sideroad and 9th Line, shortly before 8 p.m. said there was an exchange of gunfire between a 23-year-old man and two officers. The SIU is investigating and six investigators and three forensic investigators have been assigned to the case.
John Ridge has lived on the street where the shooting occurred for the past 26 years. He said it's a quiet neighbourhood and was shocked to hear about the fatal shooting. Early Wednesday morning, numerous police cruisers participated in a procession for the first fallen officer to the coroner's office, near Highway 401 and Keele Street, in Toronto.
