UPDATED: Edmonton City Hall shooter was ‘heavily armed,’ police chief says
EDMONTON — Edmonton’s police chief says a heavily armed man allegedly acted alone when he entered city hall, fired shots and threw a Molotov cocktail from the building’s second floor.
Dale McFee says a man entered through the parkade and fired shots with a long gun that could fire multiple rounds, shattering glass in the building.
McFee says he then created a small fire outside the elevator.
The chief says an unarmed security guard acted quickly to detain a suspect before police arrived.
