Man mistakenly targeted in northern Alberta highway shooting: RCMP
Six people have been charged after a shooting in northern Alberta.
A man was shot around 3:30 a.m. on May 8 while driving on Highway 58, near High Level.
Investigators found the shooter or shooters had a target, but shot at the wrong vehicle.
A suspect vehicle led RCMP to two suspects in Fort Vermilion, where they learned four more people were involved.
With warrants, police searched two homes linked to this group, finding nine rifles and ammunition but not the weapon that was used in the May 8 shooting.
Two people – from South Tallcree, Alta., and Fort Vermilion – were arrested.
The other four are considered at large.
All six face multiple weapons charges.
