Two RCMP officers hurt in confrontation with three suspects near Vegreville, Alta.
VEGREVILLE, Alta. – Two RCMP officers have been injured in what police are terming an “ongoing situation” near Vegreville, Alta.
Sgt. Josée Valiquette, a media relations officer for K-Division, says the extent of the officers’ injuries is not yet clear.
She says three suspects remain at large and are “believed to be armed and dangerous.”
The RCMP issued a news release late Monday asking journalists to stay away from the area.
Valiquette says the unusual request came because “we wouldn’t want anybody to get hurt.”
