''Speaking to reporters at the hospital, Toronto police chief Myron Demkiw said the officer was shot in the abdomen, and his injuries are not life-threatening.

"He's here in the hospital surrounded by colleagues and family, being supported during what is obviously a difficult and challenging time," Demkiw said.

"I'm relieved to say that he's doing well."
"This city really needs to start paying attention to what's going on here. Every day we're having shootings, murders. It's becoming all too common. And now to see this increase now where officers are being shot," he said.''
