A Calgary police officer was involved in a shooting that left a man with serious injuries at a light rail transit station on Tuesday morning, according to authorities.
Shooting Incident at Dalhousie Station
The incident occurred late in the morning on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at the Dalhousie LRT station in northwest Calgary. Police responded to a situation that culminated in an officer discharging their firearm.
The male victim sustained serious injuries and was transported to hospital. Calgary Police Service officials confirmed that no officers or bystanders were harmed during the event. They have also stated that there is no ongoing risk to public safety following the incident.
Transit Disruptions and Commuter Impact
As a direct result of the police investigation, the Dalhousie C-Train station has been closed. Calgary Transit issued an advisory outlining service changes:
- C-Train service continues to operate between Brentwood and Crowfoot stations.
- Trains will not stop at the closed Dalhousie station.
- Commuters are advised to use shuttle buses running outside Dalhousie station to connect to either Crowfoot or Brentwood stations to continue their train journey.
The closure and police presence are expected to cause significant disruptions for afternoon commuters in the area.
Investigation and Next Steps
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT), the independent agency that investigates incidents involving police that result in serious injury or death, has likely been notified, as is standard procedure. A thorough investigation into the circumstances leading to the shooting is now underway.
Police have cordoned off the scene at Dalhousie station to collect evidence and interview witnesses. Further details about what precipitated the officer's use of force have not been released. The condition of the injured man has also not been updated beyond the initial report of serious injuries.
This incident marks a serious event in Calgary's public transit system and will prompt reviews of both police response protocols and public safety measures at transit facilities.
