An Ontario Provincial Police officer is dead following a shooting in a rural area about 35 kilometres south of Hamilton.
Constable Greg Pierschala was shot as he responded to a call about a car in a ditch yesterday afternoon.
Pierzchala, who was 28, had been with the force less than a year.
Two suspects, a man and a woman, are in custody, with charges expected to be laid later today.
