Patrick Robert Kimmel, 45, was shot to death by police on Friday, March 15 in the community of Penbrooke Meadows after he barricaded himself inside a home.
The situation started the day before, at 3:30 p.m., as police attempted to execute a search warrant at a home in the 300 block of Penswood Way S.E.
Before officers were able to enter the home, shots were fired in their direction, prompting police to ask nearby residents to shelter in place.
In the hours that followed, Kimmel's family made attempts to urge the man to surrender to police.
Though Kimmel and his wife Jamie McConnell separated years ago, they were still married.
McConnell, who lives in Drumheller, Alta., says she first learned of the situation from her sister, who told her police were at Kimmel's house in Calgary.
