He has been remanded into custody by telephone on charges of attempted murder, assault causing bodily harm (two counts) and assault police (two counts). He remains in Hospital where a psychiatric assessment is ongoing. He is scheduled to appear for a bail hearing on Monday July 4th 2016 in Milton.
The two officers involved were treated at hospital for their injuries and are now resting at home. Both are expected to make a full recovery.
The injured family member was also treated at hospital for a minor injury and released. They too are expected to make a full recovery.

Such serious charges, and no mention of the suspect’s name? Also, kudos to the Burlington police for showing such remarkable restraint and professionalism, many have been shot and killed while posing far less of an imminent threat.
