Botched arrest that triggered Riverbend shootout could have been avoided: inquiry

A provincial inquiry into a homicide suspect’s death in a 2014 police shootout is recommending “better real-time communications” and surveillance.
The report, dated May 2, looked at the gunfight between Edmonton Police Service tactical unit officers and David Charles Sandaker, 24, which broke out after police attempted to arrest Sandaker in Riverbend on May 11, 2014.
Sandaker died in the exchange, and one officer was injured.
