Teen shooter tied to two Edmonton police killings
A 16 year old who fatally shot two officers at a northwest Edmonton apartment complex had been detained in November under the Mental Health Act for assessment. The same gun was used in a Pizza Hut shooting days earlier, and investigators link the crimes while pursuing the gun’s origins and possible additional charges. The Pizza Hut victim remains hospitalized in stable but critical condition. Officers Brett Ryan and Travis Jordan were killed responding to a family dispute.
