COCHRANE (Web Desk)At least four men were shot at a Muslim cemetery just outside of Calgary on Friday afternoon.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the shooting happened near Cochrane and the injured people were being treated at Calgary hospitals. A police spokeswoman at the scene said all suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said there was a funeral at the cemetery and a group of people remained at the site following the service. Sgt. Poitras said it appeared the shooting involved people who were in the group.
Zouheir Osman, who is in charge of the cemetery, said a service for a 21-year-old man was taking place before the shooting. He said he left shortly before the shots were fired.
Osman said he didn’t believe the shooting had anything to do with the man being remembered at the funeral.
