Shortly after 4 a.m., SaultOnline was made aware of a heavy police presence in the central part of the city.
Upon arrival in the area of Pine and McNabb, several police vehicles could be seen in the 600-700 block of Pine Street.
A witness in the area said they heard 6-10 “rapid-fire gunshots.” A second individual we spoke with stated the shots woke he and his wife from a dead sleep.
Given our previous experience, the police response which included several members of the Emergency Services Unit, the Ballistics Armoured Tactical Transport, K9 and patrol officers is typical for a weapons call.
Police have taped off a significant section of Pine Street beside the Food Basics, including the North-East entrance to the Plaza.
There is no word on if anyone has been apprehended, or the status of any victims. We are awaiting a response from Sault Police Service sometime later today with more details.
Stay with SaultOnline as we continue to update this story throughout the day.
Liberals love news like this.
Our mayor, is a liberal, so that might explain most of these comments! He supports big daddy turdeau!!! God help us if libs win this election!!!!
hopefully the officer is ok. my thoughts for the family of the deceased.
Our wishes of a safe recovery to the officer victim of the attack.
This was in the oven for a very long time and no one, absolutely no one, did nothing and that includes the chief of police that is allowing a criminal organization to set foot in the down town core.
Our MP is a dropout for whom ignorance is a bliss, but our MPP and our Mayor are lawyers and none of them ever paid attention to this reality.
Very sad.
I see another victory dance for the liberal voters go get yourself some essential whiskey beer and don’t forget the essential dope.
there’s nothing you can’t politicize eh? your mother should take away your internet.
The mayor needs to resign, now.
The rogue mayor only has one thing on his mind and it’s not crime or drugs. Can’t understand why he is still in office and neither can half of the city.
Perhaps the new Downtown Plaza will reduce incidents such as this?
Considering the seriousness of this event your comment is very insensitive. Really.
You are an informed person and probably you may have an answer for a friend of mine. This friend is wondering if the name of the deceased will share a space on the wall of those that died of an overdose?
that’s a very strange time to take a partisan shot at a development project. my thoughts are with the officer and the family of the deceased.
In a Liberal run city that mirrors what is happening in Democrat run cities in the U.S. we are seeing and experiencing a race to the bottom.
Guess the covid passports and down town market square projects are more important to city hall than the urban and social decay that is plaguing our city.
Little hint , city hall didn’t come up with the passports . The rest you are right about.
Did you see the story about their hiring policy?
Interesting. Speaking of Democrat, who came out of the woodwork during these last days before the election to endorse JT? None other than dead Barrack and Hillary!
