The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said four men were shot at a Muslim cemetery just outside of Calgary on Friday afternoon.
Sgt. Jack Poitras said the shooting happened near Cochrane and the injured people were being treated at Calgary hospitals.
Police said there was a funeral at the cemetery and a group of people remained at the site following the service. Poitras said it appears the shooting involved people who were in the group.
Cpl. Sharon Franks told the Canadian Press: ‘We do not believe that this is random incident.
‘It appears that there were friends and family gathering for a funeral at this cemetery when an altercation broke out that ended with a gun fight.
‘Obviously they were there to mourn a friend and a family member and this is one of those things that is hard to understand.’
She was filmed by CBC News saying: ‘We can confirm with you that four males have sustained injuries.
‘However, they are believed to be non-life-threatening and they are all expected to make a full recovery.’
