The RCMP says officers found a male suspect armed with an “edged weapon,” and they “used their intervention options, including a firearm, to bring the subject into custody.”
The man was taken to hospital, where he died of his injuries.
No one else was injured.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) investigates incidents involving police that result in serious injury or death to determine if there was police misconduct.
