Charges of attempted murder, more laid in shooting outside YYC
Police have charged a man with attempted murder and more following a shooting outside Calgary International Airport on Wednesday.
Ethan Zakariyya El-Khatib, 24, faces the following charges:
- Attempted murder with a firearm;
- Discharge of a firearm with intent to endanger life (x2);
- Possession of a restricted firearm;
- Possession of a prohibited device; and
- Possession of a firearm with the serial number removed.
Officers were called to Airport Road N.E. just after noon on Wednesday for reports of shots fired.
In a posting on X, formerly Twitter, the Calgary Airport said the incident happened near the cellphone parking lot, a free area for drivers to park while waiting for friends or family to land.
Police say they apprehended a suspect shortly after arriving. Two people were treated in hospital for injuries.
Police said the incident was "targeted" and stemmed from a road rage confrontation near the airport, before ending near the cellphone lot.
El-Khatib will appear in court in Calgary on Oct. 2.
