Calgary police are investigating a Thursday evening shooting in the city's northeast.

Police were called to 16 Avenue and 36 Street N.E. around 7 p.m.

A GMC Envoy crashed into a tree before ramming through the sound barrier lining homes in the community of Rundle, police said.

Officers said the male driver was still in the vehicle when they arrived and had been shot multiple times.

He was taken to Foothills Medical Centre in life-threatening condition.

He has since been upgraded to stable.

Police believe the man was driving west on 16 Avenue toward 36 Street when another vehicle pulled up alongside his and someone opened fire.

The area was blocked off for several hours through the night as police conducted an investigation.

Anyone with relevant information or dash-cam footage is asked to call police at 403-266-1234. Tips can also be left anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
