Tense 30-hour police standoff in Calgary ends, armed suspect shot dead

Questions are being raised in the aftermath of a fatal 30-hour standoff between Calgary police and an armed man in the city's southeast community of Penbrooke Meadows.

According to police, the situation in the 300 block of Penswood Way Southeast began Thursday afternoon and escalated around 8:30 p.m. Friday. Shots were fired by officers, including members of the tactical team.

The tense situation came to an end Friday night, and officials have confirmed the suspect who barricaded himself inside a home did not survive the shooting.

Why is there no picture of the suspect and why don’t they tell us his name??

[ABNDT]

The questions should be why is a criminal with past firearm charges & attempted murder doing out in the public?

[kilroy]

no picture no name and past firearm charges & attempted murder....wonder why?

[Richiesrant]

He should have just said he was stealing a car and they would have let him go.

We're from the government and we're here to help.

I blame the RCMP. They cause more trouble than they're worth.
