Man shot during Blackfalds home invasion

Local Mounties are on the hunt for suspects after a man was shot at his home in Blackfalds Tuesday afternoon.

It was just after 12:30 p.m. when Blackfalds RCMP responded along with Emergency Services to a residence where a 47-year-old man had been shot.

Police say three male suspects in a dark blue Chevrolet pickup truck had pulled in behind the residence, entering the garage, shoving a 35-year-old woman to the ground.

The suspects, who were wearing black bandanas covering a portion of their face, then entered the residence through the back, confronting the 47-year-old male in an altercation that led to him being shot.
