The Edmonton Journal is reporting that "A man died after being found with an apparent gunshot wound in central Edmonton Thursday night. The 40-year-old was found by downtown patrol officers called to a residence in the area of 106 Avenue and 105 Street at about 9:30 p.m. They administered first aid, and paramedics responded, but the male succumbed to his injuries at the scene, according to the Edmonton Police Service."
