OTTAWA – Police say a Boxing Day shooting at a west-end Ottawa outlet mall was a targeted attack involving members of the same gang.
Staff-Sgt. Ken Bryden of the guns and gangs unit says officers are seeking two “persons of interest” in Friday’s attack at the Tanger Outlets mall, and one of them may be the shooter.

He says the victim, a man in his early 20s, has been released from hospital after being shot in the foot.
Two men were arrested at the scene and released without charges.
Bryden says all five are affiliated with the Crips street gang.
He says the victim is being “extremely uncooperative” with investigators, who are also interviewing witnesses and reviewing security footage.
