At the scene, they found an adult male suffering from gunshot wounds. The man died at the scene, despite efforts to provide care.
Police said the man’s identity will be released when an autopsy, schedule for Monday in Calgary, is complete.
The Alberta RCMP Major Crime Unit is leading the investigation, the release said.
Rae Hilton was talking to her son and was just about to go to bed when the bullets came through the walls of her trailer. She told Global News three bullet holes were found on the trailer’s exterior.
Her hand was hurt but she said it may have been a piece of wood that splintered because of the bullet.
“I’m a little shaken, but otherwise I’m okay,” Hilton said.
“I just take it in stride. It is what it is. I think I’d be more angry if I was shot.”
Hilton said she and her family feels bad for the man who died. She said her family is trying to figure out the next steps.
“I just don’t know what to do. I don’t know where to go what the next steps are … we’ve contacted our insurance company. Our insurance company is going to get back to us but if the insurance can’t do anything then, what do we do? Where do we go from there? Because now we have a shot-up trailer,” Hilton said.
