Alberta's police watchdog investigates officer-involved shooting in northeast Calgary

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team is investigating a shooting late Sunday involving Calgary police officers.

Officers were called to the 12100 block of Coventry Hills Way N.E. at 9:45 p.m. after a resident reported that an unknown man with a weapon was in their backyard and trying to get into the house, the Calgary Police Service said in a release.

The family took shelter inside the house as they waited for police to arrive.

"Upon arrival, officers encountered the man and despite de-escalation efforts, two officers discharged their service weapons," police said.

The man was taken to hospital in non-life threatening condition.

The police officers were not injured.

No other details were released.
