The release says IHIT was dispatched, while the Independent Investigations Office was also notified and is looking into police actions in the case.

Though the motivation behind the stabbings is still under investigation, IHIT says police believe the man who was shot by police was responsible for both stabbings and there are no outstanding suspects.

The release also says anyone with information about the attack is asked to contact IHIT.

Police say the 55-year-old stabbing victim who died in the attack lived in the same building as the suspect, while investigators believe the surviving victim was in the vicinity of the building.

“Though the alleged suspect is now deceased, IHIT will continue a fulsome investigation into the sequence of events in hopes of uncovering the motivation and sequence of events behind what appears to be an unprovoked attack,” Sgt. Freda Fong of IHIT says in the release.

“We extend our thoughts to the family members of the deceased as well as the surviving victim.”
