The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team is investigating the circumstances that led up to a police officer shooting a suspect in southeast Calgary on Friday.
Officials said police responded to a scene in the southeast community of Radisson Heights at approximately 10 p.m.
When officers arrived in the 1500 block of 35 Street S.E., they found a man in possession of several weapons who was acting erratically.
A confrontation took place and officials say one of the responding officers fired their weapon and struck the individual.
"The man was immediately given medical care by officers and EMS on scene and has since been transported to hospital in critical but stable condition," police said in a release.
Admitted serial killer Jeremy Skibicki’s defence lawyers have argued the accused had a history of schizophrenic delusions culminating in ‘catastrophic circumstances,’ while Crown prosecutors say the killings of four vulnerable Indigenous women were driven by Skibicki’s racist views and deviant sexual urges.
