Calgarians are expressing their deep sadness and sorrow over the loss of two Edmonton police officers killed in the line of duty on Thursday.
The Edmonton Police Service says the officers, 35-year-old Const. Travis Jordan and 30-year-old Const. Brett Ryan, were called to a domestic dispute at an apartment building near 114 Avenue and 132 Street just before 1 a.m.
"Upon arrival, the two patrol members went inside the building, approached the suite, and were shot by a male subject," said Edmonton police chief Dale McFee.
The male suspect is also dead from what investigators believe is a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
One person – a female of unknown age – is in hospital with life-threatening injuries but was in stable condition as of 10 a.m. when Edmonton's police chief spoke about the incident for the first time.
In a tweet, the Calgary Police Service says its members are mourning the tragic loss.
"We share in the profound grief and loss of the fallen officers. They made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their communities," said the tweet.
