EDMONTON -- A northwest Edmonton alleyway was cordoned off following a police shooting Thursday.

Police responded to a report of a carjacking in the area of 119 Street and 132 Avenue around 11:20 a.m.

While two officers were talking to the person who reported the complaint at 120 Street and 134 Avenue, the carjacker returned to the area with the stolen vehicle.

The officers confronted the carjacker, and one of them fired their service weapon, police said. The carjacker got out of the vehicle and was arrested.

No injuries were reported as a result of the incident.

Several Edmonton Police Service vehicles could be seen in the alleyway between 133 and 134 avenues west of 120 Street Thursday afternoon.

Police at the scene did not share any details.

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) confirmed just after 2 p.m. that it was investigating a police shooting that took place Thursday in northwest Edmonton. 

A woman who was leaving the area at the time reported hearing multiple gunshots before police and paramedics arrived on scene.

The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, told CTV News Edmonton that nearby Kensington School was informed of the police incident, reportedly an attemped vehicle robbery.

A Jeep that appeared to have bullet holes in it could be seen behind the police tape. A grey sedan with its lights on could also be seen.

Edmonton Transit Service said it was rerouting buses because of a temporary road closure on 134 Avenue between 119 and 122 streets.

As they investigated, police took a man into custody who was walking down the street, later confirming he was not involved in the shooting incident. The man allegedly dumped a stolen vehicle nearby prior to his arrest. He had handcuffs placed on him and was put into a police car.

This is a developing story. It will be updated with the latest information when it becomes available.
