4 1 i 4 { 2 - PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, February 15, 2000 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Probe into police shooting wrapping up: SIU official By Chris Hall Port Perry Star The Special Investigation Unit (SIU) probe into last year's shooting of a Cobourg man by a veteran Durham Regional 'Police officer is nearing completion. SIU spokesperson Gail Scala said last week that investigators looking into the Dec. 20 incident are close to wrapping up their probe. "The investigation is currently ongoing, and right now we are waiting on some forensic reports," she said Thursday, a day after an update on the progress of the investiga- tion was given to SIU offi- cials. "Right now they are in the final stages of their investigation; the forensic reports are the only thing they need to wrap up the investigation before it goes to the director (Peter Tinsley)," said Ms Scala. "He will then make a deci- sion on the investigation." SIU investigators were called to the intersection of Hwy. 12 and 48 near Beaverton around | a.m. on Dec. 20 after Warren Frank Mclvor, 45, was shot three times -- once in the stomach and twice in the upper arm -- by Durham Regional Police Const. Paul Williams. ~ "S$0...lWHO IS RUNNING OUR FARMS?" Herbal Calming Formula -~ Chromium GTF - 10 CFFO 2000 WORKSHOP SERIES Manvers Community Centre, ~~ BETHANY Wed., Feb. 16th, 9:45 am.-3:30 pm.
