The Edmonton Police Service is investigating five shootings that happened between last Friday and Sunday.
Police say only one of the shootings resulted in injury, and the victim is expected to recover.
“One of these shootings was directed at a residence and three were directed at vehicles, including one vehicle in a very public downtown parkade and one vehicle that we believe was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time,” said Staff Sgt. Eric Stewart with the Guns & Gangs Section of the Organized Crime Branch in a written release.
“Outside of the strain this put on our resources, particularly in downtown and northeast Edmonton, the safety risk to the general public in these incidents was significant.
“We are surprised and thankful that there were not more injured parties.”
Around 11:55 p.m. on Oct. 14, officers responded to a report of a shot fired in the area of 114 Street and 17 Avenue.
