Canadian authorities have identified the man who was shot and killed by a Toronto police officer on Monday as Frank Anthony Berry.

Police said the officer was responding to a 911 call of a masked man attempting to break into a church on Dupon St-Lansdowne Ave around 10:40 a.m., when the shooting occurred.

Few details were released on the incident, but authorities confirmed that there was some kind of “interaction” between the officer and the 48-year-old suspect.

A witness said she saw Berry ran between two houses with the officer in close pursue just before she heard a gunshot.

Berry was taken to St. Michael’s Hospital, where he died.

The shooting is being investigated by the SIU.
