Hope the officer makes a complete recovery. Sad news to hear.

How do you know an officer has been shot? Unless I'm blind (might be the case), those tweets just say that it's an active situation?

Edit: Nm - saw a Calgary Sun tweet. Yikes

I assume it's the guy they put out a warrant for murder yesterday.

Hopefully the officer is okay.

Shooting a cop is literally the dumbest thing you can do. Enjoy having an entire police force after you, dumbass.

Apparently the shooter is currently holed up in a house. On 660, they said that there were reports that someone was knocking on doors and demanding keys to cars in the neighborhood earlier today, might be related.

Saw the convoy of emergency vehicles headed for Foothills. Knew it was officer involved with that many vehicles.

Hopefully no more innocent people are hurt. I really hope he didn't light a house on fire, I don't know how the fire department can even work when there is a shooter involved.

Not going to copy the link, but one of the tweets from that Rose chick shows the injured cop being carried into the ambulance unconscious.

Edit: I can see the smoke all the way from Bonavista.

I've never really thought about it much, but cops tend to look pretty bulky. Is an average constable provided with a ballistic vest for his day to day patrol?
