-- "The 19-year-old driver of what was believed to be a stolen vehicle is dead after they were shot by a Toronto Police officer early Thursday morning, the province’s police watchdog says. Two firearms were found near the Mercedes. Three other occupants of the Mercedes, who were uninjured, were taken into custody,". --
UPDATE: This was a gun-related probe - not a stolen vehicle as previously reported.
