In Toronto, Canada, hundreds of people gathered Monday to protest the fatal police shooting of an 18-year-old early Saturday that was caught on video and went viral online. The video shows Sammy Yatim standing inside an empty streetcar holding a knife while police train their guns on him from outside. While Yatim appears to remain inside the streetcar, several yards from the police outside, nine shots are heard in less than 15 seconds. Police then approach Yatim and deploy a taser. Yatim died from the gunshot wounds. The officer involved has been placed on paid suspension, and his actions are under investigation.
