RED DEER, Alta. — Mounties say a man has been shot and injured outside an overdose prevention site in central Alberta.
RCMP say the shooting happened Tuesday near the site in downtown Red Deer.
Officers wouldn’t say if the victim was a client or worker at the site, but that he was targeted.
The man was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Last month, a woman working at a supervised drug consumption site in Lethbridge, was cut and bruised when someone fired paintballs from a moving truck at people outside.
RCMP later made an arrest, charging a 29-year-old man with several offences including assault with a weapon.
