Summary
A deadly officer-involved shooting on Deerfoot Trail has triggered an investigation by Alberta’s police watchdog, ASIRT. The woman, who died after being shot, had been driving erratically for 24 hours, causing multiple collisions and high-speed chases. Officers reported she had a knife and refused to exit her vehicle. After a tense 20-minute standoff, police broke the window, deployed pepper spray, and used a projectile launcher, Taser, and a service rifle. ASIRT is now examining whether the force used was justified. A knife was recovered, and EMS responded before she was transported to the hospital, where she later died. The incident caused major traffic delays. The investigation is ongoing. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
