Edmonton police have requested an investigation by the independent police watchdog, ASIRT, after an officer shot a man in the city’s McCauley neighborhood. The incident occurred on Sunday morning when officers responded to a reported assault at a home near 109th Avenue and 93rd Street. According to a news release, a 33-year-old man assaulted another man at the residence. When police arrived, the suspect exited the residence carrying a weapon, resulting in a confrontation that led to officers discharging their firearms. The suspect sustained life-threatening injuries and is currently in stable condition in hospital. A nearby home was also struck by gunfire, although there were no injuries reported. ASIRT is now investigating the incident, which is standard procedure for serious incidents involving police in Alberta.
