Edmonton Police Service investigators believe the 16-year-old boy who fatally shot two EPS officers is the same person who shot a Pizza Hut employee.
Constables Travis Jordan and Brett Ryan were shot when they attended a family dispute call at an apartment complex at 132 Street and 114 Avenue just after midnight on March 16.
The 16-year-old boy who shot the officers then shot his mother multiple times in a struggle over the firearm, before killing himself, EPS said, adding no other person fired a gun during the event.
The teen's mother is currently in hospital in serious, but stable condition.
On March 12, a Pizza Hut employee was shot while working at the restaurant at 133 Street and 114 Avenue, just one block from the apartment complex.
He remains in hospital in critical, but stable condition.
Police say a bullet found at that shooting scene has been forensically matched to a firearm that was found at the apartment where the two officers were shot.
