A Strathmore RCMP officer was involved in a shooting early Christmas morning during an altercation at a gas station in Strathmore, east of Calgary.
Officers went to the gas station after a disturbance was reported around 3:30 a.m. Sunday.
A male suspect, who was reportedly causing a raucous, drew a weapon on police when they approached him.
“Officers discharged their sidearms. The male was struck, treated by EMS and transported to hospital with injuries as a result of this incident,” read a news release sent later Sunday morning.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) is investigating the shooting.
