The RCMP confirmed Thursday that officers found the body of a woman at a home in Bawlf, Alta., after responding to what they described as a “firearms complaint” earlier this week.
According to police, officers were called to the home at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday and found an injured man who was later taken to the hospital for treatment.
“A hold and security was ordered at a local school while the RCMP contained the area,” the RCMP said in a press release. “Holding and security were lifted at 4:30 p.m.
“Later in the evening, RCMP with the assistance of the emergency response team, entered the home and located a deceased female.”
Police have not confirmed how the woman died, how the man was injured, or what they believe happened at the house. However, they are not looking for any suspects.
The RCMP added that the injured man remains in hospital in critical condition.
“Further details, including the identities of those involved, are not being released at this time,” police said, noting that the RCMP’s major crimes unit is now leading the investigation.
Bawlf is located about 30 kilometers southeast of Camrose and 130 kilometers southeast of Edmonton.
