Premier John Horgan has issued the following statement in response to the violent attacks in Edmonton, Alta., which injured at least five people, including an Edmonton Police Service Officer:

“I was shocked and saddened to learn of last night’s violent attacks against police and the people of Edmonton. British Columbians stand united with the people of Alberta – and all Canadians – against violence and hate in all its forms.

“Our hearts go out to the victims and their families, and all Albertans affected by the attacks.”
