CBC.CAMENU Calgary- Canada Shooting at Ten Nightclub on Sunday described by witness Bouncer says man walked up to front door and opened fire before being wrestled to the ground 8 Hours Ago Play Media Ten Nightclub shooting 1:32 5 Early on Sunday morning, a man got out of a car in front of Ten Nightclub, walked to the front door with a gun and starting shooting into the bar. Police have charged two men in relation to the incident on 10th Avenue S.W. which sent a 38-year-old man to hospital with serious injuries to his torso. Spencer Wallace is a bouncer at the bar and was standing mere feet away from the gunman. "Out of nowhere, we had a little bit of a break in people coming in and I'm standing right by the front door. If I'd been standing two feet in front of where I was standing, I could have been shot, I could have been killed today," said Wallace. "I turned and I see the guy catch it right in the chest. He drops." The scene inside Ten X after shots were fired into the bar on Sunday morning. According to Wallace, one shot entered the bar and the shooter squeezed off two more while wrestling with front door staff, but police say several shots were fired into the club. "Two bouncers that work out front, I'm not going to name them, but they grabbed this guy immediately," he said. "They pounced on him. Those guys are heroes and they deserve nothing but praise, they stopped this from being so much worse." Quick police response Police from the gang suppression unit happened to be across the street from the bar at the time of the shooting and were quickly on scene, taking the shooter and an accomplice into custody. "A passenger in the vehicle attempted to assist the shooter and was able to leave the scene before police arrived. His identity and whereabouts are unknown," according to police. A third person in the car was arrested along with the shooter and has been charged. Mohamed Elmi, 31, and Mohamed Salad, 29, both of Calgary, each face the following charges: Attempted murder Discharge firearm with intent to endanger life Unauthorized possession of a firearm Unauthorized possession of a firearm in a vehicle Possession of firearm with altered or defaced serial number Aggravated assault Pointing a firearm Cocked hammer "I saw the kid that did the shooting. I saw him face down in the snow with an officer on top of him and the gun that he used sitting on the pavement," said Wallace. "I had a police officer tell me to move from where I was standing because the hammer on the gun was still cocked back and they didn't know how sensitive the trigger was." 'I'm quitting this forever' Police continue to investigate the shooting, but Wallace says he's done with his time as security. "I just do this on the weekends for extra cash. I have a day job and I am never putting on a security shirt for the rest of my life," he said. "I'm done, I'm done forever. It's not worth it. It's not worth getting shot over. I'm not doing this anymore, I'm quitting this forever." Hours before the nightclub shooting, a man reported that he had been shot in the leg by a passing car in the 5500 block of 8th Avenue S.E. The victim in that shooting was known to police and taken to hospital in non-life threatening condition. The victim in the Ten shooting is expected to survive.

Our police do a great job to monitor the gangs that seem to develop.. and the paper said that some cops were right across the street, so it didn't take them long to get there.. They (cops), also patrol the bars frequently to keep their profile up in the area to keep crime down.. ya know us, our Mounties, always get their man..(in this case, our City police).. We even have information sessions on how to stop gang recruitment, etc., probably aimed at immigrants, but still, knowledge is power.

TWO Canadian shooters named MOHAMED .... So what they were called Mohamed. Would you have wrote their names in capitals if they were called George or Peter. I think not, just more anti Islam rubbish and hysteria.

That was actually coincidence,them being there just across the Street,fortunate,though!

http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/01/11/watch-two-men-pump-shots-into-calgary-nightclub-canada-remains-silently-bemused/ WATCH: Muslim Men Shoot Up Nightclub, Govt And Media Refuse To Use The ‘M’ Word Two men have been charged with attempted murder in the Canadian city of Calgary after a nightclub shooting early Sunday morning. Mohamed Elmi, 31, and Mohamed Salad, 29, also face a host of other charges, including unauthorised possession of a firearm, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm with an altered or defaced serial number. A 38-year-old man was sent to hospital immediately after the attack with serious soft tissue injuries to his torso. Video below shows the moments leading up to the shooting as well as the consequences. According to the Calgary Herald, officials believe many more patrons could have been hurt if the nightclub’s bouncers hadn’t immediately intervened. “I don’t have the information for how many shots that firearm was capable of at that time, but we certainly can say their actions stopped what could have been several other injuries,” Staff Sgt. Brad Glaicar told the newspaper. A nightclub employee who witnessed the shooting around 1:30 a.m. Sunday at Ten X Night Club, at 1140 10th Avenue S.W., agreed. “There’s no doubt in my mind these two guys did save lives. Had they not been there it would have been a lot worse,” Spencer Wallace said of his fellow bouncers. Canadian media has been careful not to make any link between the suspects named and their religion. The word ‘jihad’ is conspicuously absent in media coverage, something that is irritating social media users who are openly speculating whether or not they have been banned from making any connection with radical Islam.
