Calgary police are investigating after an “unintentional discharge” of a service firearm at a district officer over the weekend.
The Calgary Police Service (CPS) says around 10:45 a.m. on Sunday, an officer unintentionally discharged one round of their service-issued pistol inside of the Calgary Police Service District 2 office, at 4506 17 Avenue SW.
Officers on scene determined no one in the office was hurt and the bullet traveled outside the building through a second-story window facing south.
According to police, the area encompasses the District 2 parking lot along 17 Avenue SW and the community of Glendale on the other side of the road.

CPS has yet to find the bullet.
As per service police, a General Investigations Unit was called to the scene to gather and preserve evidence.
The professional standards section will review the incident to determine compliance with CPS policies.
