Red Deer RCMP said that a heavy police presence in the central Alberta city on Sunday morning was the result of police executing a search warrant.
A release from RCMP said the search warrant was in relation to a “shooting event” in the city on Jan. 18.
At around 10:30 that evening, police were called to the north-central Riverside Meadows neighbourhood. Several units, residences and vehicles were damaged by bullets in the shooting, but no bystanders were hurt.
On Sunday morning, a tweet from Alberta RCMP alerted the public to avoid the neighbourhood while a “situation” unfolded.
Police said four adults were “detained,” questioned and released without charges.
RCMP said the investigation into the Jan. 18 shooting continues. Police believe more people were involved than just the two who were arrested. Several more suspects were seen fleeing the area.
