The man killed in a shooting east of Calgary earlier this week, prompting an hours-long shelter-in-place order for area residents, was an employee of Rocky View County.

The perpetrators have yet to be identified and the RCMP is continuing its search for two “armed and dangerous” suspects, Alberta RCMP said in an Aug. 7 social media update.
