It’s still unclear whether the shooting happened in the area or somewhere else.

At this point Police say the victim isn’t being cooperative.

“Usually if there isn’t a third party witness to the incident, it’s all dependent on the victim’s cooperation,” said Sgt. Darren Bliss with Calgary Police.

“If they’re not willing to cooperate with police, it certainly hampers our investigation.”
