Chief Dale McFee was visibly emotional as he released details of the shooting during a news conference Thursday at police headquarters.
McFee said the men were valued members of the force.
"I can't tell you how devastated we are with their loss," he said.
The officers were killed while responding to a family dispute.
Around 12: 47 a.m. Jordan and Ryan responded to the call at an apartment building near 114th Avenue and 132nd Street.
When they arrived, the officers approached the suite and were shot by a male subject.
McFee said the investigation shows the officers likely "did not have a chance" to discharge their firearms.
The officers were rushed to hospital by colleagues. They were declared dead.
The young male suspect is also dead, McFee said. Investigators believed he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, McFee said
A female related to the male subject was also taken from the scene with life-threatening injuries.
She remains in hospital in serious but stable condition, McFee said.
CBC News has confirmed the officers were shot while responding to a domestic call, and that a third person is dead.
