shooting

Earlier today City Hall was shutdown after shots were fired and a Molotov cocktail was thrown. Police have conducted a sweep of the building and roads around City Hall have been closed. No injuries have been reported and one person has been arrested. This is an unfolding news story.

Depictions of the "wild west" portray it as a time when guns were prevalent and shootings were common. Edmonton Police Service just released a report indicating that the number of firearms seized and shootings had increased substantially which is of most concern to the citizens of Edmonton.
