Just after 9 p.m., RCMP said a man walked into the lounge of a hotel on 103 Street, fired a black shotgun and demanded cash.

The man allegedly stole an unknown about of cash before firing the shotgun a second time. He then left the hotel and drove off in a grey Honda sedan, RCMP said Thursday morning.
