Police watchdog investigating after officer shot crowd control gun at Ottawa man

On Tuesday morning, a trim, smartly dressed woman stood to address a group of Hamilton police officers, paramedics and health care professionals. Three decades ago, the forces represented in the room let her down in the worst way.Because of failures of policing and gaps in the mental-health system, her young son suffered a violent death. And yet Lori Triano-Antidormi was not there to condemn them for what happened then. She had come to thank them for what has happened since. The occasion was the opening of a new hub for those working to prevent similar tragedies.
