Police are investigating the latest shooting in Calgary, after a brazen attack at a busy northeast shopping mall left one dead and another two victims with serious life-threatening injuries.

Officers responded to the shooting at Trans Canada Centre in the community of Marlborough Park at 2 p.m. on Nov. 13, the latest of five shootings that have occurred in the city in the past four days.

“Over the past four days, our officers have worked incredibly hard to respond to several brazen incidents of gun violence that have shaken many Calgarians’ sense of safety in the city,” said Acting Deputy Chief Cory Dayley of the CPS Bureau of Investigative Support.

“Each one of these incidents has occurred within a community, some in broad daylight and some narrowly missing innocent bystanders. We know that Calgarians are shocked and concerned that these incidents will have lasting impacts on our community,” he said.

A/DC Dayley said that CPS believes that Monday’s shooting, along with the other incidents, were targeted shootings with probable links to organized crime activity.

“It’s unfortunately consistent with what we’re seeing across the country across North America today with the violence and the shootings. It is not common that we’d see this many days in a row with this type of violence, and this spate of violence so it’s concerning to us,” he said.
