The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team says a 76-year-old man who was shot by Calgary police earlier this week had also suffered a cut to his neck and at least three stab wounds.
The agency, which investigates serious injuries and deaths that involve police, released the new details Thursday about the chaotic and bloody scene officers encountered Tuesday at a home in Calgary's south end.
ASIRT says a 21-year-old man covered in blood came out the front door and told officers a family member had attacked him.
The younger man was carrying a knife in one hand and a cellphone in the other, which he dropped when police told him to.
Inside a detached garage, officers found a running table saw and an unoccupied vehicle with its engine running and a hose between the exhaust and the back passenger window.
ASIRT says man with a wound to the left side of his neck appeared from the opposite corner of the garage holding a large butcher knife, and then there was a confrontation and an officer shot him.
The older man collapsed and police provided medical assistance until Emergency Medical Services took over.
"Notwithstanding their efforts, the man was pronounced deceased on scene. In rendering medical aid, it became apparent that in addition to the gunshot wound and the cut to the neck, the man had what appeared to be at least three additional stab wounds," ASIRT said in a release.
ASIRT is investigating the confrontation between police and the older man in the garage, while Calgary police are looking into what happened between the two men in the home before officers arrived.
