Calgary police are searching for suspects connected to a drive-by shooting at the bottom of the Centre Street Bridge on Monday morning.
Investigators were called to the area of Centre Street and Memorial Drive at around 1:15 a.m. for reports of shots fired.
When they arrived, officers found two people inside a truck, neither of whom was injured. They told police they had been shot at while travelling north on Centre Street Bridge by someone in a dark-coloured Toyota travelling beside them.
In a news release, police said the shooting is believed to be a “random incident.”
During a Monday news conference, Staff Sgt. Steve Lorne said the victims were stopped at a red light when the Toyota pulled up beside them.
“They just happened to look over at this vehicle, and it looked like they were talking — and the window was down — and they were talking to him. The victim never rolled his window down. He had no conversation whatsoever. They just simply ignored it.”

The victims weren’t known to police.
“They’re traumatized,” Lorne said. “They’re definitely traumatized.”
Lorne said investigators are in the process of reviewing CCTV footage from the area.
The drive-by shooting comes less than 12 hours after shots were fired on in the nearby community of Tuxedo Park.
One man was taken to hospital after being shot in the 2900 block of Centre Street at around 5 p.m.
Anyone with information on either incident is asked to call Calgary police at 403-266-1234 or contact Crime Stoppers.
