York Regional Police (YRP) officers shot two men suspected in a series of home invasions in Markham on Friday morning, killing one.

Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) says the incident happened just after 7 a.m. on Eyer Drive, near Calvert Road.

According to police, YRP officers investigated six home invasions that took place within two months in the area.

During the robberies, the defendants allegedly stole an undisclosed amount of cash and numerous valuables. No one was hurt.

On Friday, investigators said they had identified and located four suspects in connection with the robberies.

As part of that interaction, the SIU said police shot two of the suspects – one was pronounced dead at the scene and the other was transported to a hospital in stable condition.

The other two suspects were arrested and are in custody.

No further details have been released.
