At approximately 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 7, 2015, police received reports of shots fired in the area of 118 Avenue and 88 Street. Officers from Northwest Division responded and located two males suffering from gunshot wounds.
The two men, believed to be in their 20s, were treated and transported to hospital by EMS with serious, non-life threatening injuries.
It is reported the two males had been standing on the sidewalk near 118 Avenue when shots were fired from a nearby vehicle. The vehicle then fled eastbound on 118 Avenue. Police do not believe this was a random event.
Two uninvolved vehicles carrying young children were also hit by gunfire.
“There were several people in the area at the time of the shooting that thankfully were not hurt,” says Staff Sgt. Greg Laycock with Northwest Division. “We’re counting on these witnesses to contact police with information about the incident.”
Officers continue to investigate.
