Ontario's police watchdog says Ottawa police officers did not commit a crime when they shot and killed a 56-year-old man in the ByWard Market in June.

The incident began June 25, when police were called to St. Patrick Street near Parent Avenue on reports of a man who was allegedly brandishing a knife.

SIU director Joseph Martino said the officer tried to calm the man down by asking his name and saying he was there to help.Several other officers arrived within moments of the first and also drew their guns, ordering the man to drop the knife. The SIU interviewed seven civilian witnesses and two of the responding officers. The ones who shot and killed the man declined to be interviewed, as is their legal right, but did make their notes available.
