EDMONTON — Alberta's police watchdog is investigating after officers fatally shot a man in a southeast Edmonton home.
Police in the provincial capital say they and RCMP officers with a specialized provincial internet child exploitation unit were executing a search warrant early this morning.
They say officers were speaking to the suspect inside and he stabbed a member of the Edmonton Police Service.
That resulted in officers firing their weapons.
Paramedics declared the suspect dead at the scene.
One officer was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
