It was reported to police that a male had a weapon and threatened another resident. When officers arrived, they located a 60-year-old male who had barricaded himself in his apartment unit. Police obtained a search warrant and after a confrontation with the male, he was arrested.
While being treated on scene by Tactical Emergency Medical Services (TEMS), the male suffered a medical event. Emergency personnel immediately began administering first-aid. The male was transported by EMS to hospital where he was declared deceased.
The EPS submitted a 46.1 notification to the Director of Law Enforcement, who has since directed the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) to conduct an investigation into the incident.
As such, the EPS cannot provide any additional information at this time. All further media inquiries should be directed to ASIRT.
