RCMP in southern Alberta have charged a man with murder in the death of a retired Mountie who was working as a peace officer.
Police say Trevor Kloschinsky, 46, has been charged with first-degree murder.
A police statement said Rod Lazenby died Friday after he responded to what police described as an animal-related call at Kloschinsky's home in Priddis, a small community south of Calgary.
After the incident, Lazenby was driven to a Calgary police station, but died later in hospital.
Lazenby, of High River, Alta., worked for the municipal district of Foothills.
RCMP released few details about what happened, except to say no shots were fired.
