Calgary police say an innocent bystander was injured in a Friday shooting in the community of Pineridge.
Emergency crews were called to the 200 block of Pinemill Way N.E. around 1:15 p.m.
Officers provided first aid to the shooting victim until EMS arrived.
Paramedics then transported the adult victim, whose age and gender haven't been released, to hospital in stable, non-life-threatening condition.
Acting Insp. Lon Brewster says the victim isn’t believed to be the target of the shooting, and was "just in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"It's purely just an innocent person that was caught in the crossfire," he said.
A social media post issued by Calgary police at the time asked residents to avoid the area, but said there was no risk to the public.
