Ridge Meadows RCMP was called to the 21300 block of 124th Avenue around 2 p.m. to reports of shots fire.

Police say the man approached officers with an "edged weapon" and couldn't be subdued with a taser.

A prosecutor's office says police are investigating the circumstances surrounding a 4-year-old boy entering a gorilla's exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo and the animal being shot to death to protect the child.
