Canadian Police fatally shoot and kill knife-wielding teen on bus July 2013

TORONTO, Canada — The Toronto police shooting of an 18-year-old wielding a knife on an empty streetcar has left a family shattered and renewed questions about police procedure in "crisis" situations. Sammy Yatim died of a gunshot wound in hospital after officers fired at least nine shots into the streetcar early Saturday. New witness video shows Yatim standing alone near the front of the TTC vehicle, brandishing a small knife, before police open fire. His family and community are now demanding answers about why officers felt the lone teenager posed such a threat. A vigil will be held at the scene Monday evening to protest against police violence. "We are in very, very difficult times," said Yatim's father, Nabil, his eyes bloodshot. "He was an average kid, loved by his friends. Now you have totally different versions coming out." The Special Investigation Unit is probing the shooting, which took place Saturday just after midnight on a Dundas streetcar near Grace St. Witnesses said Yatim held up a three-inch knife and ordered everyone off the car. In the witness video, Yatim can be seen standing near the front of the car as police shout, "Drop your weapon!" and "Don't move!" When Yatim appears to move, officers fire three shots. After several seconds, officers fire six additional shots. Officers can still be heard yelling, "Drop the knife!" after the shots are fired. About 20 seconds later, an officer climbs up the streetcar stairs and the sound of a Taser can be heard. The teen was rushed to St. Michael's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. As the SIU remained silent on Sunday, family and friends tried desperately to make sense of the death. His uncle, Mejad "Jim" Yatim, said his nephew had been adjusting to Canadian life after emigrating from Syria five years ago.
