Fellow officers tried ‘valiantly’ to save fatally shot colleagues, suspect dead after turning gun on himself
EDMONTON—Two Edmonton police officers are dead after responding to a family dispute call at an apartment building, where they were shot by a male suspect who later turned a gun on himself, Edmonton police Chief Dale McFee told media Thursday morning.
“I can’t tell you how devastated we are by their loss,” a somber-looking McFee said, standing at a podium at police headquarters in downtown Edmonton. A female from the suite where the incident happened was taken to hospital and is in stable condition. One apartment building’s door had a smashed window, while a forensics truck sat parked nearby. Robert Tate, whose apartment is on the ground level right next to the door, said he looked out his window around 1:30 am to see a group of officers with their guns drawn, he said.
