Mounties searching for suspects in fatal shooting near Strathmore
Alberta RCMP are looking for suspects who shot two people — one fatally — at a rural intersection east of Calgary, but investigators no longer believe they are in the area.
RCMP Staff Sgt. Mark Wielgosz told a news conference on Tuesday night that police from their Strathmore detachment responded to the scene at around noon, and that two suspects fled the scene in a white half-ton pickup truck that was part of Rocky View County’s fleet.
The truck was tracked to a second location where officers began searching properties in the area for the suspects, and an emergency alert was issued telling people in the vicinity to shelter in place.
Wielgosz says police eventually determined the suspects were no longer in the area and the shelter-in-place advisory was lifted, but the hunt for the suspects continues.
