TORONTO, Ont. – A father and son are in hospital following a stabbing and subsequent stand-off with police Friday afternoon.

Officers found that the suspect’s father had been stabbed, and he was immediately taken to hospital.
“The suspect remained on scene, armed with a weapon, and at some point, the suspect exited the home when shots were fired,” Const. Wendy Drummond told 680News.

The condition of both men was not known as of Friday evening.
The SIU has been called in to investigate.
