Alberta RCMP have charged three people with attempted murder following a brazen shooting in the parking lot outside the CrossIron Mills in mid-September.
Officers were called to the shopping centre north of Calgary on Sept. 16 for reports of shots fired in the parking lot near the food court entrance. It happened at around 7 p.m. while the mall was open and filled with shoppers.
One man was rushed to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. No one else was injured, but the shooting triggered a lockdown and evacuation of the mall.
