Two people were shot on Eagle Tower Rd, just out of town, while riding an ATV after hunters had mistaken them for a moose.
Local hunters spotted a moose and one person was said to have acted impulsively and shot before really looking.
The driver of the ATV was shot in the right bicep and the bullet went through the first person hitting the passenger as well.
The people who were shot are from Edmonton and one was sent to the University of Alberta hospital. The other was treated at the Royal Alexandra hospital.
Both people are in good condition at the present time after undergoing surgery. The incident is currently under investigation and the suspect may be charged with careless use of a firearm.
