Police are investigating after shots were fired at an SUV in south Edmonton late Tuesday night.

According to police, officers were called to a shooting involving two vehicles in the area of 91 Street and 25 Avenue S.W. at about 11 p.m.

“It was reported to police that occupants of a dark-coloured truck fired shots at a silver SUV after which both vehicles left the scene,” police said, later clarifying that the truck was a pickup truck.

Soon after the shooting, police were told about a 37-year-old man arriving at a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries “that may be linked to this incident.” When asked if the man sustained gunshot wounds, a police spokesperson said they were unable to answer.
