Two people arrested in connection with a Boxing Day shooting at a shopping mall in Ottawa`s west end have been released without charge.
Police, however, are still looking for two suspects after a man was wounded in the foot in the outdoor area of the Tanger Outlets mall.
The victim’s injury is described as minor, and police say he is not co-operating with investigators.
The shooting, which happened outside a shoe store, sent frightened shoppers and employees ducking for cover.
Management of the mall closed early Friday to give store employees a chance to decompress from the incident.
Police say witnesses are being interviewed and investigators will be going through any available surveillance footage of the shooting.
