(ASIRT) has concluded its investigation into the officer-involved shooting

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) has concluded its investigation into the officer-involved shooting on May 29, 2023, and as a result, a Calgary Police Service (CPS) officer has been charged with 2 counts of second-degree murder. This incident has understandably caused a significant impact on the community, particularly among Indigenous residents who may have experienced distrust towards law enforcement.

The CPS is dedicated to addressing the concerns that arise from such incidents. They are committed to listening to the community, learning from the situation, and implementing measures to prevent similar occurrences in the future. The service acknowledges the gravity of these charges and the effect they have on those directly affected, including the families of the individuals who lost their lives.

As the case is now in the judicial system, the CPS will refrain from providing additional details to maintain the integrity of the legal process and respect the privacy of all parties involved. It is essential that the judicial proceedings are allowed to unfold without external influence or commentary that could compromise the fairness of the case.

The CPS continues to express its condolences to the grieving family members and is focused on supporting its members and the community through this difficult time. The organization remains committed to transparency and accountability, and it trusts that the criminal justice system will handle the case with the seriousness it warrants.
