Criminal charges laid against three Ontario provincial police officers involved in the death of a one-year-old boy in Kawartha Lakes, Ont. back in 2020 were withdrawn during a Monday court appearance.

OPP constables Nathan Vanderheyden, Kenneth Pengelly and Grayson Cappus were previously facing one count each of manslaughter, aggravated assault, and reckless discharge of a firearm in relation to the death of 18-month-old Jameson Shapiro.

Ontario’s Special Investigation Unit (SIU), an arms-length agency that investigates police interactions that result in serious injury, death, or allegations of sexual assault, has said the officers received a report of a child abduction on Nov. 26, 2020., and during a chase that later ensued, responding officers fired their weapons at the boy's 33-year-old father.
