🚑 Breaking & Incidents

  1. Cuarenta y tres personas mayores desalojadas tras inundación en Villa Marguerite, oeste de Edmonton. El agua de lluvia entró por las ventanas del sótano el viernes por la tarde, obligando a los residentes a refugiarse en la capilla y las áreas de recreación; Park Place Seniors Living dijo que se están coordinando planes de reubicación individualizados y que los residentes siguen recibiendo atención, según la vicepresidenta de operaciones Becky Marlatt.

💼 Economy & Business

  1. IBC calcula 230 millones de dólares canadienses en daños asegurados por las recientes tormentas en Edmonton. El Insurance Bureau of Canada informa que las reclamaciones por las tormentas de finales de mayo y principios de junio —principalmente de viviendas— sumaron casi 230 millones de dólares canadienses y advierte que se sigue recopilando información de las tormentas de mediados de julio, por lo que el total aumentará.

🚨 Crime & Public Safety

  1. Mujer acusada tras atropello y fuga del 27 de mayo que se cree motivado por odio en Edmonton. La policía dice que la sospechosa acorraló a una víctima cerca de 82 Street y 144 Avenue, atropelló a una mujer que llevaba hijab con su vehículo y luego huyó; la sospechosa se entregó el 9 de julio y quedó en libertad con orden de presentarse en la corte.

El incidente ocurrió alrededor de las 4 p.m. en Greenbrook Village cuando, según los oficiales, un hombre sacó un arma y un agente disparó; el Equipo de Respuesta a Incidentes Graves de Alberta abrió una investigación independiente después de que fracasaran los intentos de salvarle la vida.
