An injured man was found at the entrance to the centre and was rushed to hospital in serious condition.

According to Alberta Justice, Harrison’s case returned to court on Tuesday, where he entered his guilty pleas and was sentenced to 20 months in jail. With credit for time already served, he has a little more than seven months remaining.

All other charges Harrison was facing, including possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose and unlawfully causing bodily harm, have been withdrawn.
