The 16-year-old also shot and wounded his mother before killing himself.

The bridges being dedicated are along the city’s ring road, Anthony Henday Drive over the North Saskatchewan River between Terwillegar Drive and Maskekosihk Trail.

The Alberta government says memorial signs with the officers’ names will be posted at the ends of each bridge.

Ryan was born in Edmonton and Jordan was from Digby, Nova Scotia.
