One of RCMP officers shot believed from Lethbridge

One of RCMP officers shot believed from Lethbridge

THE CANADIAN PRESS KILLAM, Alta. — RCMP confirm one man has been found dead in a rural Alberta house where two Mounties were shot. Sgt. Patrick Webb says a search is on for a 27-year-man seen leaving the property Tuesday when four Mounties from the detachment in Killam were on the scene. Webb says Sawyer Clarke Robison could be armed and dangerous, and should be considered a high risk. Members of the public should not approach him. The two Mounties suffered significant injuries to their torsos, but are recovering after surgery. Police have identified them as Killam detachment officers Const. Sheldon Shah and Const. Sidney Gaudette — who some reports have as being originally from Lethbridge. The two injured officers have both undergone surgery and are recovering in hospital in Edmonton. Sawyer may be driving a black 2000 Chevrolet Silverado with Alberta licence plate number UZE 245.
