The Special Investigations Unit is investigating after a man was shot by police in Tilbury.
The SIU said a 62-year-old man is in the hospital with serious injuries after a Chatham-Kent police officer shot him Sunday night.
Police were called to the area of Laurentia Drive and Rose Avenue in Tilbury at 10:52 p.m. after receiving a call about a man armed with guns.
When officers arrived the man was found with a crowbar outside his residence on Laurentia Drive. Officers used a Taser on the man, but it was unsuccessful. The SIU said an officer then shot the man.
