CALGARY – The Calgary police officer shot twice in a brazen gunfight in a city park on Monday has been released from hospital.
Police say the officer is recovering and Edworthy Park has since reopened.
Officers pulled over a man in a black truck just before noon when he stepped out of the vehicle and began shooting at police before fleeing on foot.
The chase ended with the suspect, a man police say was an organized crime figure, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound and found floating in the Bow River.
Police have not released his age or identity.
Alberta’s police watchdog says it was sent to the scene on Monday and is investigating the suspect’s death.
