By the time police arrived, the offenders had fled. No injuries were reported.

After reviewing surveillance footage from the area, officers assisted by the police tactical unit arrested 23-year-old Ahmed Hassan Rakka a few days later and charged him with several firearms offences.

The footage revealed a second suspect, who was arrested last Thursday after members of the tactical team served a search warrant on a home in the 3700 block of 44th Avenue N.E.

Alemayehu Aman, 22, of Calgary is now facing a long list of firearms offences and is set to appear in court Wednesday.

Staff Sgt. Greg Cooper with the force’s guns and gangs unit said given the public danger posed by the shooting, investigators were highly motivated to track down the culprits.
