Witnesses wanted after RCMP shoot 2 men in December: ASIRT [Video]

Alberta’s police watchdog is looking for witnesses in two police shootings that killed one man and left another in critical condition.

The first shooting happened the early evening of Dec. 12 in Fort McMurray.

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) said a woman called police after hearing crying in the basement suite she rented out.

Officers arrived and entered the suite for a welfare check, at which time a man was seen escaping out a window into the backyard.

ASIRT said one officer followed him and shot him. The man was taken to hospital, where he remained in critical condition as of Friday.

Only the man and the officer were in the backyard at the time of the shooting, ASIRT said, and the officer was not wearing a body camera.
