Calgary police say Herblin responded to a break-in alarm at the strip mall on Bow Trail S.W. around 3 a.m.

Police attended the scene and searched the business before leaving. But Herblin remained in the parking lot waiting for the business “to be secured” until 6 a.m., when at least three offenders returned to the scene, according to police.

Police believe the three assailants were attempting to break into the adjoining cannabis store through Herblin’s restaurant, which is located in the 3800 block of Bow Trail S.W.

A confrontation ensued in the parking lot of the strip mall. Herblin was injured, but managed to make it to a nearby gas station to call for help before succumbing to his injuries.
