The family of an Edmonton home builder who was fatally shot in south Edmonton on Monday says they're in shock over what happened.
Buta Singh Gill, owner of Gill Built Homes, and one other man were killed in the shooting at Cavanagh Boulevard and 30 Avenue SW around noon on Monday.
A witness told CTV News Edmonton she saw a man who was standing in the street pointing a gun into the driver-side window of a black car and she heard three shots.
The driver of the car, Sarbjeet Singh, who is an engineer and site supervisor at Gill Built Homes, is in hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries.
A spokesperson for Gill's family says Singh has had surgery and is in stable condition in hospital.
The family claims another witness who worked for Gill's company says the killer shot Gill in the back after wounding Singh.
He then fatally shot himself.
