They said Friday that a woman entered the Lethbridge Legal Guidance office demanding to speak with a specific lawyer who wasn’t there and, after using the washroom, came out and pointed a gun at two employees.
“Due to an imminent threat to the life of the hostage, members of the tactical team made entry to the building,” Hagel said. The victim was given first aid by the officers and was later sent to hospital with life-threatening injuries.Hagel didn’t say what prompted police to believe the hostage was in danger, but said her injuries likely occurred in the short time it took police officers to enter.
