The RCMP in Cochrane, Alta., has lifted a shelter-in-place order for the Sunset neighbourhood, but are looking for a suspect in a related shooting.

Mounties issued the order around 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, asking residents of the Cochrane neighbourhood to remain indoors while a then-ongoing incident was dealt with.

Residents were also asked to refrain from posting details or images of officers' movements on social media.

On Friday morning, the RCMP said it received a report of a shooting at a home in the community at 6:45 p.m.

The suspect fled the scene in a black Jeep Wrangler, which was later found abandoned on Highway 22 near Ridge View Place.

Shortly after 8 p.m., the shelter-in-place order was lifted.

The RCMP is still investigating the incident and requests that anyone with dash-cam or other video footage of the shooting or the Jeep Wrangler contact police.

No one was injured in the shooting.
