Grayson Delong, 51, was shot in September, 2016 by an undercover Halton Regional Police officer -- immediately after Delong allegedly shot Toronto lawyer Randall Barrs outside his law office on Bedford Road. At the time, Delong had been under surveillance by plainclothes Halton police in connection to a string of property offences in Burlington when he is alleged to have walked up to Barrs, shot him in the leg, then got back into his vehicle. Seconds later, Delong was shot by the unnamed Halton officer as he attempted to flee. Both Delong and Barrs recovered from serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. Delong, who was wearing a blond wig and a construction vest at the time of the shooting, was C H E C K O U T T H E e w L O O K 217 c r o s s ave ( vc r o s s fr o m ii: charged with 15 offences, including attempted murder and disguise with intent to commit an offence. Delong' s case is currently before the courts. "In the circumstances, the subject officer was Grayson Delong legally justified in employing force intended to cause death or grievous bodily harm against a fleeing suspect. Consequently, there is no reason to believe that a criminal offence has been committed and no charges will issue," Tony Loparco, director of the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), said in a statement Tuesday According to the SIU, Delong had been under surveillance by a team of plainclothes officers since 9 a.m. on Sept. 20, 2016, when Delong had been making a Randall Barrs court appearance | submitted in Brampton. Over the next few hours, the officers trailed Delong as he left court, travelled to downtown Toronto, then parked on in the Yorkville area and emerged from his car in his construction worker disguise, according to the SIU. \ i ' \ i .i , \ i : g o station) oPEN DAILY f r o m 11AM HARVEY'S i "It feels good to know it's all taken care of."
