EDMONTON – Police in Edmonton say Alberta’s police watchdog will investigate an officer’s shooting of a man near an apartment building fire.
Police say the officer was assisting firefighters with traffic control at a fire northwest of the city’s core on Friday night when local residents reported there was a man with a gun outside a nearby home.
The officer proceeded to the rear of the home, police say, and encountered a man with a weapon.
Police say there was a confrontation and the officer shot him.
The man died, and police say a firearm was recovered at the scene.
Police say the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team will handle the investigation.
