The cops shot suspicious guys trying to get away.

Only in the NW do the good guys do the shooting!

He was in a hurry to get back to the NE, police decided to stop him right in front of the tims for convenience purposes.

I kind of assumed it was a bank robbery gone wrong because of where it happened, but I guess not.

Officers were called to the area because of a suspicious vehicle, police said in a news release.

"At some point during the interaction with the occupants of the vehicle, the driver attempted to flee and mounted the nearby curb. The vehicle drove along the sidewalk, and struck two elderly pedestrians …The driver of the vehicle was challenged by uniformed members, and a service firearm was discharged."

The man the officer shot is in hospital. Two others are in custody.

Bad driving and suspicious vehicles are basically right in the NW's wheelhouse.

Sounds like it was probably a justified response to the driver plowing people down.

Doesn't mention in the story, but if that cop fired a round into the car and hit the guy I'm impressed.

This just in: Shooter is from the N.E!

They should be shooting jaywalkers.

[toastgremlin]

Apparently it was an SUV. Completely justified.

#calgarypolice confirm 3 people in custody, including driver of SUV who was shot by an officer. #yyc #

Next, they'll be shooting jaywalkers.

If they commit multiple counts of assault with a deadly weapon, fail to obey police orders and try and run down cops?

I'm all for it.

Fuck yeah. Who knows what the details are right now, but anything remotely like that is justification. They have guns for a reason.

(Which is, of course, to keep them out of the NW... as old as that is...)

Face and stomach, damn good shot on a moving target.

[CapnCrunch]

They need special license plates for people in the NE so the cops can just open fire once they cross Deerfoot or Glenmore.

[Myrrinda]

Don't people know that they should never act suspicious near a Tim Hortons? 2 blocks over and they likely would have gone unnoticed.

[NoMoreG35]

Makes me wonder what happens at Timmy's in the NE on a daily basis...

[Xtrema]

So the elders got ran over is the cause or effect of the shoot out?

None of the reports are clear.

Calgary police say an officer shot a man in northwest Calgary after an elderly couple was struck by a vehicle.
