Patrick Robert Kimmel, 45, was shot to death by police on Friday, March 15 after barricading himself inside a Penbrooke Meadows home for more than a day.
Kimmel's 30-hour standoff with the Calgary Police Service (CPS) started on Thursday, March 14 at 3 p.m. when officers attempted to execute a search warrant at a home in the 300 block of Penswood Way S.E.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) took over the investigation, and said in a Monday news release that tactical officers used a loudspeaker to identify themselves and their reason for being at the home as they approached it.
All of the people inside the home were asked to leave.
ASIRT says four people did so, but Kimmel remained inside.
"At 3:43 p.m., gunshots came from the residence and appeared to hit a CPS armoured rescue vehicle," ASIRT said.
