Armed man shot 2 London, Ont., officers, killed another man during standoff

A man from London, Ont., remains in custody after allegedly killing one man and injuring two police officers over the course of a weekend standoff in north-east London.

London police say they first received reports of an unresponsive man at around 5 a.m. on Saturday in the 600-block of Kipps Lane. Upon arrival, the man was found with multiple stab wounds and was pronounced dead a short time later.

He has been identified as 41-year-old Joel Cameron of London.

Investigators say the deceased and accused were known to each other.

Police say they spent much of Saturday negotiating with a man who was barricaded inside a nearby apartment building and believed to be armed.

Police allege the man shot at two officers at roughly 7:30 p.m., both of whom suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

The 42-year-old suspect, Adrian Neil Campbell, was taken into custody about an hour later and charged with one count of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder.

The suspect is scheduled to re-appear in court on March 20.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact police at 519 661-5670
