Calgary police were called to the scene of a southwest neighbourhood after gunshots were heard.
Police arrived to the 10,000 block of Brackenridge Road S.W. in Braeside just after 3 p.m. to find evidence of a shooting. But so far no injuries have been reported to police.
Investigators are at the scene, with part of an alley cordoned off.
Officers are also checking on the welfare of the surrounding neighbours.
Neighbours told Global News they heard shots in the mid-afternoon, with one person saying the shots were very rapid in sequence and they had never heard anything like it in the area.
James Kohut was out walking his dog and nearly went down the alley that was later occupied by police.
“We continued down the street and I heard what sounded like five shots go off with a regular gun, followed by what sounded like a machine gun to me,” Kohut told Global News. “By the time I came back, police were here and everything was secured down.
“I was absolutely stunned at what I was hearing and started to wonder if I was in Ukraine or something like that. This is very unusual.”
Kohut said he’s had experience with firearms while hunting, and the afternoon’s events were surprising.
“This is the most rounds I’ve heard go off in the city.”
