The police chief of Alberta’s capital says a heavily armed man allegedly acted alone on Jan. 23 when he entered city hall, fired shots and threw a Molotov cocktail from the building’s second floor.

Dale McFee told reporters a man entered through the Edmonton City Hall parkade and fired shots with a long gun that could fire multiple rounds, shattering glass in the building.
