Sixteen-year-old shooter who killed two officers did not have criminal record but was subject of at least one mental-health call in the past, police say
by a 16-year-old boy, but they say they are still investigating where the teen got the gun and whether he was also responsible for an unsolved shooting at a Pizza Hut restaurant across the street days earlier.did not have a criminal record“We understand that yesterday’s events have deep and far-reaching effects on the citizens of Edmonton. We’re still very much in the early stages of our investigation,” Deputy Chief Devin Laforce told a news conference on Friday afternoon.
“It has since been confirmed that neither officer discharged their firearm, and it is apparent that they had no opportunity to respond to the threat that faced them,” Deputy Chief Laforce said. Deputy Chief Laforce said the teen’s mother remains unresponsive and in serious condition, and that his father has been co-operating with police.
“There was nothing that flagged this that would require any extra services,” Deputy Chief Laforce said. “Even the call itself was a non-violent domestic dispute, where a mother’s having difficulty with a 16-year-old son.”
