EDMONTON – The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team has been called in to investigate a fatal shooting in Edmonton.

A police spokesman say officers fatally shot the man while trying to arrest him.

The victim was driving a vehicle in a shopping centre parking lot in the city’s northwest on Saturday evening when officers attempted to arrest him on outstanding warrants.

They allege the 29-year-old suspect collided with a police vehicle in an attempt to flee, and that police tried to use their vehicles to box his vehicle in.
