The province’s Special Investigation’s Unit has been notified following a police-involved shooting early Friday evening.
According to a news release, on Friday at approximately 6:30 p.m., officers responded to a report of an altercation in the area of Roseville Garden Drive and Thornberry Crescent.
Upon arrival, officers located a male suspect armed with a knife. During the encounter, the suspect was shot by police.
Police say the suspect has been transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
