According to the details of the incident, Calgary Police officers and Alberta Fish and Wildlife officials located the animal strolling through the parking lot of Marlborough Mall.

Calgary Police Sgt., Paul Magnus, mentioned in his remarks that “Fish and Wildlife attempted to tranquilize the animal, but the tranquilizer didn’t take,” adding that “it got penned into a backyard and when it turned on the officers, it had to be euthanized.” The homeowner of the house where the moose was shot, Diane Day, alleged to have heard a loud bang and rushed to have seen a “huge moose” in the backyard through the kitchen window. Day stated that “there were a bunch of police and wildlife officers,” adding “thank goodness they stayed back because this thing was wild. It cornered itself.” She also confirmed that the animal was indeed agitated even after being hit by the tranquilizer.
