Wood Buffalo Brewing Company, downtown shooting

The RCMP are investigating a downtown shooting at the Wood Buffalo Brewing Company, and a local Fort MacMurray resident was shot during the incident. At 2 am Saturday morning a 911 call was made to the RCMP, and the complaint involved a shooting which occurred outside of the pub in downtown Fort MacMurray. According to RCMP Cst. Kandice Perry “We received a call of gunshots at the location, so when members arrived at the scene there was a male that sustained gunshot wounds.” The motive for the crime and the identity of the shooter is still unknown and the case is still under investigation. Cst. Perry stated “At this point in the investigation we can’t say for certain” when asked about the who and why of the downtown shooting at the Wood Buffalo Brewing Company.

There was a victim in the Wood Buffalo Brewing Company downtown shooting, a male who is believed to be in his early 30’s. The victim of the shooting was transported from the scene in downtown Fort MacMurray to the local hospital, and was later transported to another hospital in the Edmonton area. Reports place the victim in stable condition but the man has not been identified by the RCMP yet. Cst. Perry stated “The victim is going to be the one that we gain the information from, and… where he’s seeking medical assistance, we just can’t get that information from him at this time. It means that it wasn’t blindly done. The incident was, as far as we can tell, directed at a certain individual.”
