SHERWOOD PARK — Alberta’s police watchdog says a Mountie fatally shot a woman at a home east of Edmonton when she came running out with a sword.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team also says a review of video and audio recordings shows the 42-year-old woman was suicidal.
The agency says the woman first called police about 3 a.m. Monday to say she thought someone was in the backyard of her Sherwood Park house.
Officers arrived but did not find anything suspicious in the area.
