The Calgary Police Service has charged one man in relation to events that led to an officer-involved shooting on Friday, Sept. 29, 2017.

At approximately 8:10 p.m., police were called to a convenience store in the 4600 block of 37 Street S.W., for reports that a man inside was acting erratically and had produced a knife. Staff and other people inside the store believed they were in danger and called 9-1-1.
