Edmonton police say they want more witnesses to come forward who saw a Saturday night double shooting or a fleeing minivan in the city’s northeast.

Two men, age 21 and 27, who were both known to police, are in custody and will be facing attempted murder, firearms and criminal flight charges for allegedly shooting at and fleeing police, homicide section Staff Sgt. Duane Hunter said Sunday.

But Hunter said another person, or people, may have been in the minivan after the shooting or during the police pursuit.

“We believe the victims were targeted, and the suspects that are in custody were waiting for them,” he said.

Although many bystanders have given statements, police want more witnesses to come forward with their accounts so they can be absolutely sure it was the same minivan involved in the two shootings — the first at the apartment complex, the second when occupants of a fleeing van fired at police, Hunter said.
