'We were quite shocked when we heard,' Cheryl said of the shooting. 'It's very unusual for the area — you know, it's pretty safe. That's why we walk this area all the time.' 'Young people should be safe. We like to see them out here rollerblading, walking, whatever.' Tweet This Click to share quote on Twitter: "Young people should be safe. We like to see them out here rollerblading, walking, whatever." The fact the shooting happened during daylight on an evening when plenty of people would have been outside enjoying themselves alarmed them, Neil added. 'The sun's out and it was calm. Like, (if) it would have been two in the morning, maybe a bit more understandable,' he said. Resident Jim Kinney said police canvassed the neighbourhood, asking residents for any info they may have. 'Shocked, I suppose, is the first reaction — but somewhat resigned to the fact that it seems to be happening more and more,' Kinney said. He said the upper-middle-class neighbourhood is generally quiet and safe, and hopes that doesn't change. Story continues below advertisement 'This is a nice little area, a little piece of paradise. Hopefully it's once and we don't have it happen again because it is quite nice to live here.' It's not known if the shooter and victims knew each other or if it was a random drive-by shooting. 'Why this neighbourhood? Is it a resident, is it somebody that frequents the neighbourhood?' Kinney said. Police said officers continue to investigate and no other information is available. Anyone with any information, security camera or dashcam footage related to this incident is asked to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online.
