EDMONTON - Alberta's police watchdog has cleared officers involved in shooting a man 18 times after he reportedly slashed tires at a south Edmonton hotel.

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team, or ASIRT, says it was reasonable for officers in the July 2021 shooting to believe the suspect was a risk to their lives.
