“They knocked on the door and the guy just opened the door and starting shooting.”6:39Linda Fjeldsted saw flashing lights from her apartment next door. Her window faces the shared parking lot.
“We looked out and so many police, so much stuff going on, police running in different directions,” she recalled. “Then two policemen were carrying out a man. We thought it was a bad man that they had tied up — he was all crunched up — and they put him in the back seat of a police car and they took off,” Fjeldsted said.
“Then they brought out another one — I thought it was another bad man — put him into the back of a car and they took off again.“But it was the two policemen. And we heard later that when they got to the hospital, they had died, which broke my heart.”Edmonton police Const. Travis Jordan, left, and Const.
