The province’s police watchdog is investigating an RCMP-involved shooting in Red Deer Sunday night in which a man was injured.
Mounties were called around 7:15 p.m. to respond to a report of an armed man at a downtown apartment building.
When they arrived, they found the armed man, who was shot by police “in their efforts to ensure public safety,” RCMP said in a statement.
He was taken to hospital for treatment. No one else was hurt.
Officers remained at the scene throughout the night to secure the area.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team or ASIRT is investigating, as they do with all incidents involving officers resulting in injury or death, as well as any sensitive allegations of police misconduct.
