Calgary police say one person is hurt after a shooting in the southeast community of Radisson Heights on Tuesday.

It happened at a strip mall near 28 Street SE and Radcliffe Drive SE around 6:30 p.m.

About a half an hour later, a person known to police showed up at a hospital with a gunshot wound in non-life threatening condition. Police believe that person was involved in the shooting.

Police believe it was a targeted attack but say it’s too early in the investigation to attribute it to gang violence. Officers found 25 bullet casings in the area.

“I heard three gunshots and came out of my apartment to see a man running towards a white car that had some parts missing, then I heard four more shots and then that guy fled away,” one witness told CityNews.

This is the 97th shooting in Calgary so far this year and the fourth in the city this week.
