However, an update will not be provided until police have confirmed information to relay to the public.

“We know how much the public is interested, and wanting an update on this terrible incident, but we are mindful of not compromising our investigation” says Inspector Lauren Weare, Officer in Charge of Cochrane Detachment, in a press release. “A solid investigation which will stand the tests of the court is methodical and takes time. We thank the public for their patience while our members focus on their tasks.”

The investigation began August 2 when RCMP say a man driving west along Highway 1A near Morley, Alberta suffered a head wound from a gun, causing his vehicle to crash.

Three other occupants in the vehicle sustained minor injuries, while the driver was transported to Calgary via STARS air ambulance.
