An innocent man has died following a shooting involving Edmonton police Wednesday evening that also left one suspect dead.
Edmonton Police Chief Dale McFee said officers were called around 6:25 p.m. for a liquor store robbery involving a gun.
Before police arrived, McFee said the male suspect left the area on foot. He was located around 7 p.m. When the suspect saw police, McFee said he fled again.
Shortly after, a confrontation occurred and police discharged their firearms, McFee said. The male suspect was “fatally wounded,” McFee said.
During the confrontation, McFee said a second man — who was inside a nearby apartment suite and not involved in the incident — was struck. This man was rushed to hospital by paramedics where he died of his injuries, McFee said.
Morgan Black reports.
