Two people died, including the gunman, in a shooting at an Edmonton car dealership Friday morning.
Just before 7:50 a.m., a man with a gun walked into Fantastic West Chrysler near Stony Plain Road and 178 Street and started shooting, police said.
“Police arrived on scene and they found that three males had been shot,” said Edmonton Insp. Denis Jubinville.
Two people were already dead. A third person was wounded and taken to hospital. His condition was not known.
The dealership was sealed off, and homicide investigators were on the scene. It wasn’t immediately clear what connection the gunman had to the dealership. Police did not believe he held any hostages.
Sheri Wotowylo’s husband was inside the service department when the gunman opened fire. Wotowylo was sitting outside the dealership in her car, keeping in touch with her husband who was still inside.
Maxwell Sesaoi showed up for work at Fantastic West Chrysler on Friday and was told to go home. (CBC) “He was pretty shook up when he called, but he’s OK now. It’s, I guess, pretty hectic in there right now,” she said.
Dealership employee Maxwell Sesaoi was told to go home after he showed up for work Friday morning.
Sesaoi has worked for Fantastic West Chrysler for three years and said he had never had any problems with anyone.
“Everybody’s really friendly around here,” he said. “Everybody is trying to help each other around. I have never, never in my life had a confrontation or argument with any of the workers.”
About 30 people work in the dealership’s service department, Sesaoi said
