Autopsy results revealed in fatal shooting of Edmonton officers

Autopsy results have been released by police in Edmonton following the deaths of constables Brett Ryan and Travis Jordan.

In both cases, the Edmonton Police Service has confirmed the cause of death to be gunshot wounds, considering the manner of death homicide.

A 16-year-old boy shot and killed the two constables early Thursday morning as they responded to a non-violent domestic dispute call at an apartment complex.

Investigators say a 55-year-old female complainant met the two constables when they arrived at the complex and escorted them to where she lived, along with her 73-year-old male partner and their 16-year-old son.

Police say the teen shot the two officers multiple times, immediately incapacitating them. The mother attempted to disarm her son, but he shot and wounded her before fatally shooting himself. The father was not injured during the shootings.

They say there was no indication the call was high risk or dangerous or that the teen had a gun. Officers also say that neither of the constables discharged their firearm.

Emergency crews transported the officers to hospital, where they were both pronounced dead.
The 55-year-old complainant is in hospital in serious but stable condition.

Police say the 16-year-old suspect died in their presence and had no criminal record or outstanding warrants but was known to them through a previous mental health call.

An autopsy for the 16-year-old suspect is scheduled for Wednesday.

There is still no word on when a regimental funeral will be held for the two fallen police constables.
