An impaired-driving suspect was shot dead by a police officer during a traffic stop in southwest Edmonton Thursday afternoon. The officer, a six-year veteran, and the suspect both got out of their vehicles on Hollands Landing, Edmonton Police Service Deputy Chief Kevin Brezinski told a news conference Thursday afternoon. A photo taken at the scene of the shooting shows a body on the ground near a minivan. The traffic stop was at 1:43 p.m., police said. "We know very little about the victim at this time, but we do believe he has a family in Edmonton," Brezinski said.
