The Edmonton Police Service provided an update Friday on the investigation into the circumstances around the deaths of Const. Travis Jordan, 35, and Const. Brett Ryan, 30, addressed questions about whether the gunman was also behind a brutal shooting at a Pizza Hut across the street.
On Thursday at 12:47 a.m., the EPS officers were shot and killed when responding to a domestic violence call at Baywood Apartments.
When the two officers arrived, they were met outside of the complex by the suspect’s mother, who called 911.
In their Friday update, police said she was having difficulty with her son and the officers were responding to help with the domestic dispute.
After meeting the mother outside, the two officers went up to the suite where she lived with a 73-year-old man and their 16-year-old son.
Immediately upon arriving at the suite, both officers were shot multiple times by the 16-year-old and were “immediately incapacitated.”
Police said neither officer had time to draw and fire their own guns and they never made it inside the apartment.
