A 37-year-old man is facing multiple firearms charges and police are looking for three additional suspects in a shooting that took place in northeast Calgary last week.
On Nov. 17, police said a group of four men were involved in a physical altercation in the upper level of the Marlborough CTrain station, at 899 36 Street NE

Members of the public tried to flee the area, but a few minutes later one of the suspects returned to the upper level and fired a flare gun twice “causing one of the other suspects’ jackets to ‘ caught fire for a short time.”
The man who fired the flare gun fled the area on a departing CTrain and was taken into custody by police at the Franklin CTrain station without incident. He is now facing multiple charges.
Evan Robert Mossing (37) was charged with seven firearms offences, including discharging a firearm with intent while being reckless, careless use of a firearm and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
