2 in hospital after Sunday shooting, police investigating several locations in Capilano

Edmonton police are investigating an overnight shooting in the Capilano neighbourhood Sunday that sent two men to hospital.

Police say officers were called to the area of 106a Avenue and 52 Street at around 2:20 a.m.

When officers arrived, they determined an altercation at a house party in a short-term rental had led to shots being fired.

Two men, aged 25 and 27, were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Officers said there were several locations in the neighbourhood under investigation following the shooting.

Police said Sunday afternoon that one victim was found at the scene of the shooting and the other was found outside nearby at 108 Avenue and 50 Street.

Neighbours said numerous shots were heard around the time of the incident.

“I heard one shot, and that’s what woke me up. Then there was a pause, then there was about four rapid shots — one after the other,” said Morrie Roggeveen.

“I looked out the window, and this guy is laying on the lawn,” he said.

Roggeveen said he’s lived in the neighbourhood for 40 years and it’s normally quiet and safe.

There is no suspect in custody at this time and police do not believe there is any risk to the public.

Police are asking anyone who may have information about the incident to contact them at 780-423-4567.
