Ontario's police watchdog is investigating the injuries of a 30-year-old man in Kingston, Ont.
The Special Investigations Unit says Kingston police officers were searching for a man in a wooded area around 3 p.m. on Thursday.
The SIU says once the officers found the man, they began talking to them, but a short while later the man suffered a gunshot wound to the head.
Kingston police say the man was a suspect in the homicide of a woman found dead Thursday morning.
They say as its officers approached, the man pulled a gun and shot himself.
Police say he was taken to hospital in serious condition.
The SIU is automatically called in to review how police handled incidents that result in serious injury or death.
