A woman is in critical condition in hospital following a police-involved shooting in Ottawa's Westboro neighbourhood. Emergency crews responded to a shooting in the 200 block of Avondale Avenue, near Tweedsmuir Avenue, at 1:30 p.m. on Friday.

If the police were just yelling that to improve the optics, or because they weren’t putting enough effort into identifying a non-gun object that she was carrying, well . . .
