Edmonton police are investigating a brazen daylight shooting in the city’s west end that is believed to be targeted.
At about 6:45 pm on Saturday, officers responded to the area of Ormsby Crescent following reports of several gunshots.
It was reported a man was out for a walk with his young family when a red Nissan Rogue pulled up behind them on Ormsby Crescent. Two masked suspects ran from the vehicle and began chasing the man while firing multiple gunshots at him.
The suspects chased the man through a green space between Ormsby Crescent and Ormsby Road East, while continuing to fire shots at him. The suspects then returned to the vehicle and fled the area.
Neither the man nor his family were injured by the gunfire.
The man is known to police and investigators believe the shooting was targeted.
Acting Insp. Eric Stewart, of the Edmonton Police organized crime branch, said Wednesday the shooting was extremely dangerous and brazen.
