“Obviously, we grieve alongside our brothers and sisters in Edmonton, but there’s also anger at the senseless nature of what happened to the two officers there. It brings back memories of not so long ago when Sgt. (Andrew) Harnett was killed.”
It’s been just over two years since Calgary police officers learned about the death of one of their colleagues.
“There really is no such thing as a routine call. Traffic stops, domestic disturbances — any type of call can lead to this sort of situation, and it’s almost impossible to predict when it’s going to happen.”The stress of having a loved one go out on duty facing unknown threats is familiar to Tara Ernst of Calgary Beyond the Blue, an association of family members and spouses of Calgary police officers.“We’re the first responders of the first responders,” Ernst told Global News.
“It hurts us and it’s our worst nightmare, what happened today,” Ernst said. “I think something like today shows you that just a simple 911 call can turn into something completely different and that’s a little terrifying.”Jordan and Ryan were responding to a call about a domestic dispute at an Edmonton apartment building at 12:47 a.m. on Thursday.Edmonton Police Service Chief Dale McFee said the officers were shot after approaching a suite in the apartment building.
Orr said there will be books of condolence put out at CPS headquarters and district offices for members to sign.“I’m certain when arrangements are made, there’ll be a large contingent of Calgary officers who attend the remembrance for these two officers,” he said.Story continues below advertisement
