Police are searching for a brown van and a black pick-up truck that were seen leaving the scene. One of the vehicles is believed to have a broken window.
Police say the shooting was most likely targeted.
“This does not appear to be random in any way,” said RCMP Insp. Tim Shields in an interview with CBC. “We don’t believe the public is in danger as a result of this shooting.
