A man in his 20s has died in hospital, following an officer-involved shooting in Calgary’s northeast.

It happened in the community of Redstone around 3:45 a.m. Friday morning at the traffic circle located at the intersection of Redstone Street and Redstone Drive.

Calgary police say they were engaging with a suspect when a service firearm was discharged.

A large stretch of roadway was taped off as the Alberta Incident Response Team investigated.

Neighbours were surprised to wake up to the flashing lights and commotion.

Sukanya lives at the corner of the roundabout and said she’s a little nervous because she has a small child.

“My son plays here. I don’t have to watch him, he just plays here alone. So, yeah, I never thought it’s going to happen here.”

Clothing and a hat could be seen left behind on the roadway.
