Residents of Parkland County and the Enoch Cree Nation were advised to shelter in place as police searched for two suspects believed to be armed and dangerous west of Edmonton.

“Please stay in your homes or shelter in place. Please report any suspicious activity to police.”
RCMP said they would give updates “as necessary.”
An Alberta Emergency Alert was also issued for Parkland County, west of Edmonton, in the area highways 60 and 628.
