Mohamed Elmi, 31, and Mohamed Salad, 29, both of Calgary, have each been charged with numerous offences including attempted murder, discharging a firearm with intent to endanger life and aggravated assault.
Police are searching for a third suspect who was initially detained by officers, but was able to leave the area as officers “turned their attention to secure the scene and arrest the shooter and one of his accomplices.”
The suspect is described as being approximately 5’10” tall, between 20 and 30 years old and wearing white pants and a beige-coloured sweater at the time of the shooting.

On Thursday, police released photos of two men captured on nearby CCTV footage who investigators believe are “likely to have information” that would lead to the arrest of the third suspect.
Anyone with information about the suspect, or the men in the newly released CCTV photos, is asked to call police or contact Crime Stoppers.
