A Churchill Police officer shot and killed a man last night in Forest Hills.

Police from several departments were sent to a disturbance in the 200 block of Glasgow Road around 9:30 pm.

As they arrived, officers heard a firearm being chambered and a shot fired.

They encountered a 48-year-old man with a gun outside a home and that's when the Churchill officer shot the man in the torso.

He was taken to a hospital in critical condition and died a short time later.

It is not clear if the unidentified man pointed his firearm at law enforcement or why he fired a shot.
