Source says suspect who killed two Edmonton officers was 16, also shot his mother
"Today, the Edmonton Police Service has been marked by an unthinkable and horrific tragedy as two of our members have died in the line of duty," Chief Dale McFee told a packed and solemn news conference at police headquarters.
McFee said the officers were called shortly before 1 a.m. to a family dispute at an apartment building in northwest Edmonton, part of a large red-brick complex of three-storey walk-ups."All indications are they did not have a chance to discharge their firearms." About a dozen police cars and a forensics truck were parked near the apartment complex. The scene was taped off and a road leading into the area was also blocked.
“Brett Ryan was a pillar within our community and will be missed by all who knew him,” said a social media post from the Spruce Grove Minor Hockey Association. “We take this time to honour his life and the contributions he has made to the Edmonton community and beyond." In 2020, Jessica Shmigelsky was driving to work after a heavy spring snowfall. Her snowbrush had broken and Jordan pulled her over because she had too much snow on her vehicle."He did his job and he did more than what his job really entailed," said ShmigelskyPolice officers lined the street near the medical examiner's office as an escort carrying the bodies arrived, saluting their fallen comrades.
“The sudden and tragic deaths of these officers remind us again of the dangers police officers constantly face when they serve the people of Alberta.”
