The death of a woman in central Edmonton over the weekend has been ruled a homicide.
Just after 4 a.m. Saturday, police conducted a welfare check at a home in the area of 93 Street and 103 Avenue.
When police arrived, 36-year-old Lyndsay Bruno was found dead.
An autopsy was performed Tuesday and found that a gunshot wound caused Bruno’s death, police said in a media release Wednesday afternoon.
The man believed to be responsible for the woman’s death was shot and killed by RCMP over the weekend.
At around 12:20 a.m. Saturday, Rocky Mountain House RCMP received a call about a man who was allegedly armed and holding a hostage in a rural area about 10 kilometres west of O’Chiese First Nation.

The suspect sustained life-threatening injuries and later died. No officers were injured. The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) has been directed to investigate the incident.
