St. Albert RCMP continue to investigate the incident that occurred October 28, 2022, but can say they were called to a residence in the Northridge area at approximately 12:10 a.m. for a male individual with a firearm. A perimeter was set up around the area, several residences were evacuated for safety, and RCMP Emergency Response Team was deployed to assist St. Albert RCMP members.

Police maintained the scene and subsequently the male exited the residence with life threatening injuries. He was transported by ground ambulance to an Edmonton hospital, where he remains in serious but stable condition. At no time did the RCMP discharge any firearms or use physical force during the course of the event.

St. Albert RCMP take firearm calls seriously and investigate thoroughly, as such occurrences can have a significant impact on surrounding residents and our community’s feeling of safety. St. Albert Victim Services Unit has been engaged to assist and have reached out to those impacted by the situation.
