Police are investigating a fatal shooting in northeast Calgary that killed one man and left another seriously injured.
Calgary police said officers received multiple calls about shots fired around 7:50 p.m. Monday in the parking lot of the North Hill Co-Op at 520 16 Ave. N.E.
When officers arrived, they found two men suffering from gunshot wounds.
Both were taken to Foothills Hospital in life-threatening condition but police said one of the men later died and the condition of the other man was upgraded to stable.
Witness Alex Boisselle told Global News he was shopping for groceries when he heard the gunshots.
“I was holding a basket of groceries. I heard the shots and I heard the door open and this guy came running in with blood pouring out of his foot,” said Boisselle.

“He sat down in front of the counter and said, ‘I’m shot, I’m shot.’ So somebody wrapped it and then he looked up at me and said, ‘There’s a shooting outside.'”
“I went outside and the guy was laying right beside my car. If I would have been out there a minute earlier, I would have probably been sprayed too,” Boisselle added.
Investigators said the suspects fled the area before officers arrived and no arrests have been made.
However, police believe the shooting was targeted and said there is no ongoing risk to the publi
c.
The grocery store was temporarily placed into lockdown as a precaution to protect staff and customers.
Police are urging anyone who may have witnessed the shooting to contact police immediately.
