Police shot and wounded an armed suspect at a bank robbery Tuesday in bustling South Edmonton Common during the peak Christmas shopping season. 

The male suspect “was struck numerous times,” and was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, said Clif Purvis, executive director of the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team. 

He said the suspect is in his mid-20s, and was armed with a handgun when two uniformed officers responded to a call about 2 p.m. at the Canadian Western Bank at 2142 99th St. 

Several shots were fired, but no officers, customers or employees were injured. 

He could not say how many shots were fired by the suspect, if any. 

He said several witnesses remained in the bank Tuesday evening, where they were being interviewed by police. He said it wasn't clear if the witnesses were all bank employees or if there had been customers in the bank, as well. 

“Obviously, this is a very traumatic experience for them,” Purvis said. 

Several people left the bank through the back door about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. A woman in a long red parka held the door open as another woman in a dark jacket walked through and was met by a police officer. The officer led her to the front seat of a police cruiser, then drove off. 

Around the same time, a large police forensics truck arrived at the scene.

Deirdre O'Riordan and Shantel Costin watched some of the action unfold from the nearby diet clinic where they work after hearing their co-workers saying, “Guns! Guns! Guns!” 

The women said they looked outside to see police cars, and armed officers running into the bank. 

“There were a whole bunch of police cars pulling up and they were whipping out guns out of the trunk, and we were like, ‘Holy Mackerel, what happened?' ” said Costin. “We were all really shaken up actually. It was kind of crazy.” 

The women said ambulance crews took someone away on a stretcher, but the person was covered in a sheet. The ambulance left without its sirens on and didn't appear to be in a hurry, they said. 

The women said they didn't hear gunshots, as their co-workers had been popping sheets of bubble wrap at the time the incident occurred. 

“It was pretty scary, especially when you're working right next to it,” said O'Riordan.Bruyneel exits Castelli Cycling after armstrong report release!

Doris Damboise, an employee at the PartSource store next to the bank, said one her co-workers came in and told her the bank had been robbed. 

She looked outside to see “lots and lots” of police officers carrying assault rifles. 

“We didn't even know what was going on,” she said. “It's kind of shocking.” 

Damboise said they didn't know anyone had been hurt until they saw the ambulance crew take someone away. 

Another PartSource employee said he saw some of the officers with their weapons drawn standing behind their cars.
