Canada: RCMP officer arrested after wife's body found in southeast Edmonton home

EDMONTON - An official with the RCMP in Edmonton says a veteran officer arrested after his wife was found dead had his service weapon at home because his job required it.
An agency that investigates incidents involving police says the 36-year-old constable was arrested around 5:30 a.m. and his wife's body was discovered inside a home in a neighbourhood in the city's southeast.
Peter Hourihan, an assistant commissioner with the RCMP, says the constable was not on duty at the time he was arrested.
An official with the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team says police were called to the home sometime after 4 a.m. to a report of shots being fired, though the agency wouldn't comment on how the woman may have died.
Hourihan says the officer, who had over seven years experience, worked as a traffic enforcement officer at an Edmonton-area detachment.
He says the force is "deeply saddened" by this incident, adding that there are employee assistance programs in place to help police officers cope with personal difficulties.
