Officers are currently on scene responding to a shooting that occurred in the parking lot of a grocery store located in the city’s north that has resulted in the death of one man.
At approximately 7:50 p.m., today, Monday, May 11, 2026, we responded to reports of shots fired in the parking lot of the North Hill Co-op located at 520 16 Ave. N.E.
Upon police arrival, two men were found suffering from gunshot wounds and transported to hospital, both in life-threatening condition. One man has since died.
The suspects fled the area prior to police arrival and no one is in custody at this time; however, investigators believe this shooting was targeted and there is no active risk to the public.
The store was placed into lockdown to keep staff and customers safe, and the lockdown has since been lifted.
While no road closures are in effect, we are asking the public to please refrain from accessing the area as investigators continue to work and assess the scene.
As the investigation is in its early stages, no further information is available at this time.
“We fully recognize the impact of brazen, violent acts on the larger community,” says Duty Inspector Darren Smith. “Public safety is our number one priority, and Calgarians deserve to feel safe at all times in their communities.
