Police release image of van suspected in St. Albert shooting
Mounties have released a photo of the van believed to be involved in a shooting in St. Albert over the long weekend.
The dark image shows what appears to be a white van with tinting on the rear windows.
The shooting happened on Levasseur Road at the Grandin Road intersection around 12:30 a.m. on Monday.
The mother of the 16-year-old girl driving the car told CTV News Edmonton she believes the teens were shot at because her daughter's boyfriend gave the finger to the van's driver as they passed, thinking they were one of their friends.
The driver of the van is then reported to have followed them from Grovesnor Boulevard to the intersection and opened fire when the teens stopped at a red light.
A 17-year-old boy was hit twice in the back and required surgery for his injuries. The girl's mother said her daughter was hit in the head by pellets from the shots. The third teen, another 17-year-old boy, was not hurt.

Police are still looking for images of the van involved.
Anyone with surveillance cameras in the Heritage Lakes, Riel and Grandin neighbourhoods is asked to check their footage between 12:30 a.m. and 1:00 a.m. on Monday for the white van or anything suspicious.
Correction
Police previously said all the windows on the van were tinted. They have since said only the back windows on the van had tinting.
