EMS arrived on the scene to treat Harnett, but he was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
First-degree murder warrants have been issued for two suspects, Al-Azan Shah Muhammad, 17, and Amir Abdulrahman, 19, both of Calgary. Muhammad, the alleged driver, and Abdulrahman, his passenger were in a sport utility vehicle when they were stopped by Sgt. Harnett.
