The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) released photos Friday of the weapons a man involved in an officer-involved shooting with Calgary police was allegedly carrying when he was shot.
The man was shot by officers responding to a domestic assault call.
Police were called to a home in the 500 block of Markerville Road N.E. on Wednesday afternoon. The man in question, identified by family as 40-year-old Damon Parisian, had barricaded himself in the attached garage.
After hours of failed negotiations, the man emerged from the garage at about 8 p.m. and “approached police.”
“Independent evidence has confirmed that when the man exited the garage, he was armed with an axe and a hammer, which were both recovered on scene,” ASIRT said in a Friday release.
After a confrontation, the responding officers deployed a Taser and then shot the man.
He was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries. As of Friday, the man was in serious but stable condition after having surgery.
