>>3782669‎ Update Edmonton Bombing 

 

RCMP can confirm that on Nov. 6. 2018, at approximately. 6:30 p.m., there was a report of fire in the Strathcona Community Centre.

Police and emergency personnel responded and an evacuation of the Centre and surrounding areas commenced.

Further investigation revealed that an explosion in the parkade had occurred prior to the response and police immediately secured the area. A suspect male was located in a vehicle at the parkade. He was transported to hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries that were not related to police interaction.

Due to the explosion and potential for further suspects, the Emergency Response Team (ERT) along with the Explosive Disposal Unit (EDU) were called in to assist.

At approximately 8:15 p.m., there was a second explosion in the parkade while members were in close proximity. The cause and origin of these explosions is still under investigation. No one was injured.

The EDU team will remain on scene and the area secured until they are able to determine the cause of the explosion and ensure there are no other potential threats.

The RCMP Major Crime Unit from Edmonton has taken carriage of the investigation at this time and are working with all supportive units.

Police are not looking for any further suspects and do not believe there is any danger to the public.

RCMP will not be releasing the name of the deceased as the investigation continues.‎
