CALGARY — Alberta's police watchdog is investigating an officer-involved shooting that occurred early this morning in northwest Calgary.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response team says Calgary Police were called out just before midnight after receiving a report of a man with a weapon.
Officers found the man in a parkade and tried to calm the situation for an extended period of time.
Police say the situation eventually escalated to the point that one of the officers fired a gun.
The wounded man was given medical attention by both officers and EMS officials who were on the scene.
He was transported to hospital in serious but stable condition.
