After a police-involved shooting in Grande Prairie between a man armed with a gun and Grande Prairie RCMP on the evening of October 15th, the RCMP says its internal review process has been implemented.
After the shooting, the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team was directed to investigate the situation and its surrounding circumstances. According to police, the internal review process was launched independent of ASIRT’s investigation to gather a full account of what occurred during the incident.
“The RCMP is, of course, fully cooperating with ASIRT,” the RCMP says.
The internal review is in place after Grande Prairie RCMP were dispatched to a disturbance at a home in the area of 104 Avenue and 92A Street in Grande Prairie. Upon arrival, RCMP were reportedly confronted by an armed man outside of the home.
The suspect was struck by a shot and transported to hospital by EMS where he died shortly after due to his injuries.
