CALGARY — A man is dead after a police-involved shooting at a Calgary facility that offers low-cost supportive housing for men with mental health and addiction issues.
Officers were called early Friday morning to Langin Place in a southeast neighbourhood after getting word about someone threatening another client with a gun.
Police say in a release that officers were confronted with a high-risk situation as they approached a man on the second floor and that a police gun was fired.
He died at the scene, but it was not immediately known whether he had been armed.
No officers were hurt.
The building was evacuated, but residents were allowed back in after spending a short time on transit buses that had been brought to the scene.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team is investigating.
The team is called whenever there is an officer-involved shooting in the province. (The Canadian Press, CHQR, CFFR)
