Edmonton Police Services spokeswoman Noreen Remtulla said a man is in life-threatening condition after being shot.

Police said an argument happened outside a convenience store in Castle Downs.

Shattered glass lay on the ground outside the store after what one witness called a gunfight.

“A couple SUVs pulled up, a few people fled, I guess there was a conflict of some kind,” said David McDonald. “They started opening fire.”

Witness Steve Blanes said he was leaving the 7-Eleven when he heard shots that sounded like they were coming from a shotgun or large-calibre weapon.

He saw two men fleeing from the back corner of the shopping centre near a Mediterranean restaurant.
