A 30-hour armed standoff with Calgary police that forced some residents of a southeast neighbourhood out of their homes came to an end on Friday night after officers shot a man dead.

Police had been stationed outside a home in the Penbrooke Meadows neighbourhood since Mar, 14 afternoon trying to negotiate with a man who had allegedly barricaded himself inside and was firing shots at officers.
