AIRDRIE- A man is in hospital and police are looking for a suspect after what’s believed to be a targeted shooting at CrossIron Mills shopping centre last night that triggered an evacuation.

RCMP say officers and tactical team members were called to CrossIron Mills, near Airdrie, shortly after 7 p.m. following reports of shots being fired.

A man found in a restaurant with what a witness described as a back wound and was taken to a Calgary hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

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

A wide area of the parking lot was cordoned off and officers, backed up by a canine unit, methodically checked the building before Mounties posted to social media around 9:30 p.m. that the danger had passed.
