On Thursday, police urged anyone with information about the shooting, or who has dashcam footage from the scene, to call the Calgary police non-emergency line at 403-266-1234 or contact Crime Stoppers.

“This shooting happened on a busy street with lots of other drivers and bystanders in the area who may have seen something,” Staff Sgt. Greg Cooper said.

It is unknown if anyone was injured as a result of the shootings.

CPS said addressing the “increased violence and shootings” in northeast Calgary is a priority, and is the focus of several different CPS units.
