The RCMP is investigating after a violent weekend home invasion in east-central Alberta saw the victim get shot and be taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said officers responded to a home invasion in the community of Frog Lake, Alta. at about 6:15 a.m. on Sunday. When they got there, officers were told several suspects got into the home after using a gun to shoot at the door. Mounties said a man was sleeping near the front entrance when the shooting began and suffered a gunshot wound. The victim was also assaulted during an “altercation.” The suspects then stole a TV and jewelry before leaving in a vehicle.
According to the RCMP, investigators believe the home invasion was “not a random incident” and they do not believe there is any risk to public safety.
In a news release on Tuesday, police said the victim was taken to hospital in Edmonton. They added no arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
