The police investigation appears to involvea black truck with its doors swung open outside the Prospera Credit Union.

'It's crazy'

Workers at a nearby restaurant quickly learned about the shooting as emergency responders arrived.

Ewan Hamilton, a cook at the Earls Kitchen and Bar restaurant, said he was out for a break when he sawan ambulance, a fire truck, and multiple police cruisers.

"And word got around in the restaurant that someone got shot," he said.

"Usually you see this on TV somewhere else you don't really think about it too much, but like this is pretty close, it's right across from where we work. It's crazy."

Police said they believe the shooting was targeted.

RCMPhave closed down part of the parking lot at the mall as their investigation continues.
