A man is dead following an officer involved shooting northeast of Vegreville.
RCMP officers were called to a home around 5:00pm Wednesday for a "trouble with person" call. Police say a 43-year-old was reported to be armed with a gun and was believed to be with three adult family members.
The RCMP Emergency Response Team was called in to help, but before they arrived RCMP fired one shot at the 43-year-old man. He died on scene and his name is not being released at his time.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team is investigating and say a shotgun was found at the scene. (ks)
