Man Killed After Woman, Infant Reportedly Shot Inside Home: Police
A 36-year-old man died after officers fired on him, while two women and an infant were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
On Sunday, Edmonton Police Service officers responded to a residence near Donsdale Drive and 45th Avenue following reports that a man with a firearm shot a woman and infant inside the home.
Upon arrival, officers encountered the 36-year-old man who refused "verbal direction," prompting three officers to discharge their firearms at the scene.
An infant and two women were transported to hospital by EMS with non-life-threatening injuries; no police officers were injured during the confrontation.
Despite life-saving measures by the EPS tactical emergency medical support team, the 36-year-old man died at the scene, police said.
An independent investigation has been launched after the Police Review Commission directed the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team to probe the fatal officer-involved shooting.
