Officer-involved fatality in Edmonton under investigation

Alberta’s police watchdog says a sawed-off rifle was found inside a vehicle after an Edmonton police officer shot and killed a 30-year-old man in the driver’s seat over the weekend.

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team says in a news release that a man in the passenger seat surrendered and exited the stolen vehicle.

But it says as the officer approached, there was a confrontation with the man sitting behind the steering wheel.

The release says the officer took cover while the second officer fired.
