The man allegedly told police during an emergency response seven days prior to the fatal shooting that he was the reincarnation of actress Jennifer Aniston and that 'All I want is for someone to tell me I'm not insane.'
A CPS unit outside of an apartment building in the 600 block of 68 Ave. S.W. on Jan. 28, 2018 following a response where a suspect was fatally shot.CALGARY -- An investigation by Alberta's police watchdog determined that the actions of a Calgary Police Service member were justified in the 2018 shooting death of a axe-wielding suspect with mental health issues.
The man was transported to the South Health Campus on the evening of Jan. 21 where he was assessed and discharged. Despite several requests from police, the suspect refused to leave his apartment to speak with the officers. A decision was made by the CPS members to step back, await the arrival of EMS and attempt to persuade the suspect to voluntarily leave with the paramedic crew under the Mental Health Act.
The suspect jumped from the balcony to the ground below — a drop of nearly four metres — and began to approach the officers. One of the officers told the man to drop the axe and the suspect, according to ASIRT, allegedly responded "No, I'm going to cut your head off" followed by "Shoot me. Shoot me."
The handcuffed man remained conscious throughout the response and was transported to hospital by EMS. The suspect complained that his wrists were sore and EMS replaced his handcuffs with Velcro restraints.
