Alberta’s police watchdog has released more details on an officer-involved shooting that resulted in the death of one man following an interaction last week near the community of Irricana, northeast of Calgary.<\/p>\n

Around 6:20 p.m. on July 3, Airdrie RCMP officers responded to a 911 call from a woman reporting a domestic disturbance involving her boyfriend in a rural home near the town, according to a release from the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) on Friday.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival, officers heard yelling from inside the home before the woman came out through the front door.<\/p>\n

Officers stayed near the entrance and called for the man to come outside, but he did not respond, the release says.<\/p>\n

A few minutes later, the man came to the front door and began walking toward the officers with what appeared to be a handgun, the release says. One officer then fired their gun multiple times, striking the man.<\/p>\n

Despite life-saving measures taken at the scene, the man was declared deceased. <\/p>\n

ASIRT said the incident was captured on the body-worn cameras officers were wearing.<\/p>\n

The Police Review Commission has directed ASIRT to investigate the incident as a Level 1 matter under the Police Act, a classification that refers to incidents involving serious injury or death, as well as serious or sensitive allegations involving police actions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":785897,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194293],"tags":[49,2798,48],"class_list":["post-794042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-calgary","tag-ca","tag-calgary","tag-canada"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=794042"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794042\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/785897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=794042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=794042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=794042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
