Question still remain after a 70-year-old Norfolk County man was shot dead in Port Dover following a police search.
Gunsmith Rodger Kotanko was killed after Toronto Police executed a search warrant on the property.
Longtime friend and neighbour Mike Valentine says the community spoke with us about the incident.
When it comes to what went down, Toronto Police allegedly performing a no-knock search warrant that resulted in Rodger being shot and killed, Valentine said people who knew him can’t comprehend how this happened.
He said there is also concern in the community about how the investigation will pan out – saying there is some distrust in the SIU locally and questions about why the Norfolk OPP were not involved.
Valentine said one of the things that makes this even harder is he was known for making sure to follow the rules, and cross all his t’s and dot his i’s in order to keep making a living.
Valentine also said a GoFundMe page has been setup for Rodger’s funeral, and that can be found here.
