Police are looking for suspects after a shooting in northeast Calgary that sent a young man to hospital.

Officers received reports about a person who was dropped off at the Peter Lougheed Hospital with gunshot wounds at around 10 p.m. on Tuesday.

In an update Wednesday, CPS Insp. Darren Smith says investigators learned the shooting happened outside the Genesis Centre near Falconridge Blvd and Saddletowne Circle NE.

“What we learned is there was an altercation at some point in the parking lot where a vehicle pulled up and spoke with a whole group of individuals,” says Smith.
