Shotgun fired into an Ethiopian restaurant in Edmonton

By Edmonton Sun

Cops were looking for a man who fired a shotgun into a busy Ethiopian restaurant during a botched robbery attempt late last night.

“No one was hurt. He asked for money but ran out after the gun went off,” said a woman at the Blue Nile, located at 10875 98 St.

She identified herself as the restaurant manager but did not give her name.

Police were called to the eatery at around 10:30 p.m.

They said the suspect appears to have been spooked by his own firearm, as he fled into the night after a single shot ripped through a door frame in the restaurant.

He didn’t make away with any cash, police said.

A description of the suspect was not available.
