Two Officers Slashed, Suspect Killed, In Barrie Standoff

The SIU is investigating after a standoff in Barrie left one man dead and sent two police officers to hospital.

Rookie Constables Clayton Speers, 29, and David Edgar, 26, were responding to a call outside a busy mall on Bayfield Street near Highway 400 at about 10:30am on Sunday when they confronted a man who allegedly lunged at them with a sharp object, stabbing one officer in the arm and the other in the neck.

The Barrie Police officers then allegedly shot the man dead.
