The police officer who was shot and seriously injured in Toronto’s midtown on Wednesday has been released from hospital.
A spokeswoman for the Toronto Police Association says the 29-year-old officer was sent home on Thursday.
The shooting in the Yonge and Eglinton neighbourhood happened at around 5:30 p.m. when police who were conducting a robbery investigation stopped a vehicle.
Two sources with knowledge of the investigation say the plainclothes officer was shot in the abdomen by a man who got out of the vehicle.
The 21-year-old suspected shooter was later arrested at an east-end hospital and faces charges including attempted murder and three counts of robbery.
Ontario’s police watchdog says an officer fired a gun in the underground parking garage where it happened as the suspect fled, but no one was hit.
