An OPP officer involved in the incident also obtained serious injuries.

According to CTV Toronto, the father had been reported for abducting the baby boy, initially prompting police to respond.

SIU spokesperson Monica Hudon is saying it's too early in the investigation to know why the officers fired shots, CTV reports.

The investigation is ongoing and both the OPP and SIU have said to expect further information to be released.
