CALGARY – One man was killed in a brazen daytime shooting in Auburn Bay on Thursday.

When they arrived, officers found one man unresponsive on the street.

EMS attempted to resuscitate the victim, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police don’t believe the attack was random, but have no suspects and haven’t identified a motive.

“We are still in the process of sifting through information to determine if any other persons may have information, or a vehicle may be involved,” said Duty Insp. Michael Watterston.

“This is certainly a public safety concern, whenever we have gunplay in the city.”
