ASIRT ruled Calgary police officer's shooting of armed knife-wielding robbery suspect justified.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) found that a Calgary police officer acted appropriately in an August shooting involving a robbery suspect armed with a knife. The officer shot the suspect after he ignored commands and advanced toward them. The investigation, supported by body camera footage, concluded that the officer was justified in using force, as the suspect posed a lethal threat and had expressed a desire for "suicide by cop."
