NEIGHBOURS HEARD GUNSHOTS

Ali Nour Aldein, who lives nearby, heard the gunfire.

"Like 5 a.m., we heard some gunshots," Nour Aldein said. "I think it was an automatic gun so it went three time gunshots."

Others who live nearby say they are also shocked.  

"I just saw them in the yard and said 'Hi.' I can’t think why anyone who would want to harm them," said Cesar, who lives across the street. 

The community is uneasy that a deadly shooting happened in neighbourhood full of young families. 

"It’s shocking, scary,” said Jasmeet Bambrah who lives two doors down.

Anyone with information on the death is asked to call Calgary police at 403-266-1234.
