RCMP searching for suspects following CrossIron Mills shooting

AIRDRIE, Alta. – Police say they are going through video footage and talking to scores of witnesses in the search for a suspect in what’s believed was a targeted shooting at a large Calgary-area shopping mall.

The man who was shot on Monday night at CrossIron Mills remains in hospital in serious but stable condition.

RCMP Insp. Kimberley Pasloske says officers who arrived within minutes after a report about 7 p.m. of shots being fired found the victim.

She says a slender man dressed in black and an accomplice fled the scene in a 2019 Black Dodge Ram pickup truck and remain at large.

Airdrie RCMP say the suspect vehicle is a black 2019 Dodge Ram 4 door pick up truck like the one in this photo.

Pasloske says the attack took place in the parking lot just outside the mall’s food court.

She says it’s particularly concerning that the shooting took place in such a busy, public place.

No one else was hurt and shoppers were told to take shelter while police cleared the mall store by store as they looked for the shooter.
