ASIRT investigating officer-involved shooting

At approximately 11:20 a.m. this morning, Thursday, Feb. 20, 2020, two Northwest Division officers were dispatched to a report of a carjacking in the area of 119 Street and 132 Avenue. 

While the two officers were speaking with the complainant at a nearby location in the area of 120 Street and 134 Avenue, the suspect returned to the area with the allegedly stolen vehicle.

A confrontation occurred between the suspect and police, and one of the officers discharged their service weapon. The suspect then exited the vehicle, at which time the officers arrested him. The suspect was not injured and has been taken into custody.

No EPS officers were harmed during this incident.

The EPS will not be providing further comment, as the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) has since taken the lead in this investigation.
