The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) has opened a new investigation into the shooting and arrest of man in Dover on Nov. 3.

The incident occurred when Calgary police located a stolen vehicle in a southeast Calgary alley and tried to apprehend the suspect.

One officer was dragged by the stolen car and another opened fire, injuring the 20-year-old man inside the vehicle.

According to a release, the investigation is in addition to the one currently underway involving the officer who shot the suspect and focuses on two additional members of the force.

"ASIRT is investigating the circumstances surrounding the force used on the 20-year-old man who was driving the stolen Honda Civic after he was removed from the vehicle while being taken into custody," said the release.

"It is not believed that the use of force caused any additional injury to the man who remains in hospital as a result of gunshot wounds received from the officer-involved shooting."

The new investigation is the result of information gleaned from the initial investigation.

ASIRTsaid it will not comment further until the investigation is complete.
