The suspects in the fatal shooting on Tuesday in Rocky View County remain at large.
RCMP say two people were shot during the incident, with one succumbing to their injuries, and another being injured superficially. FortisAlberta identified the surviving victim as one of its employees.
"While performing routine work, one of our employees was shot and sustained an injury during the encounter reported by RCMP in Strathmore on Tuesday," wrote FortisAlberta in a public statement. "The employee was treated for the injury and released from the hospital later that evening."
FortisAlberta also extended condolences to the families and friends of the other victim, who was identified as Rocky View County staffer Colin Hough.
“This tragic and senseless act has deeply affected us all," said CAO Byron Riemann. "Colin was a valued member of our team, and we extend our deepest condolences to Colin's family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.”
The motive of the shooting remains under investigation, with the RCMP releasing an update once more information becomes available.
