Luckily neither the man, his family, nor any community members were hurt.
Edmonton police are investigating a shooting that happened Saturday evening in the Ormsby Place neighborhood.
Several 911 callers reported gunshots in the area of Ormsby Crescent around 6:45 p.m.
Police say a man was out for a walk with his family, including two young children, when a red Nissan Rogue was driven up behind them.
Two masked people got out of the SUV and started to chase the man southeast through the green space between Ormsby Crescent and Ormsby Road East while shooting at him. They eventually returned to their SUV and left the area.
"What I do want to convey was how absolutely irresponsible this act was, electing to shoot up a neighborhood filled with families in broad daylight. We could easily be talking about life-threatening injuries or homicides here today," said Acting Insp. Eric Stewart of the Edmonton Police Service's Organized Crime Branch during a Wednesday news conference. Posted by Abdul
