Police closed a major commuter road in Edmonton Thursday afternoon after a man turned up at a busy gas station with a gunshot wound to his leg.
The man went to the Domo on St Albert Trail for help around 4 p.m.
An EPS Inspector told CTV News Edmonton at the scene that the victim was expected to survive.
Patrol officers closed St. Albert Trail north of the 118 Avenue traffic circle while a tactical team searched a nearby house for suspects.

Police didn’t find anyone else injured.
CTV News Edmonton observed tactical officers leaving the area after 7:10 p.m.
Carolin Maran, EPS spokesperson, later told CTV News Edmonton that officers arrested three people inside the house, but all were released without charges.
