RCMP have made an arrest in a highway shooting south of Edmonton earlier this month that left one man dead.
They say three friends were headed to the mountains on the Queen Elizabeth 2 Highway on March 14, when a pickup truck pulled up beside their Honda Civic south of Leduc.
Two survivors of the shooting have said a person in the truck made a hand gesture toward them, something resembling a peace sign.
The friends took control of the steering wheel and pulled the car over to the side of the highway.
“Despite the laying of these charges, we know that there will be many questions regarding suspects and motivations,” said Staff Sgt. John Brown of the Alberta RCMP Major Crimes Unit.
“Please understand that our ability to answer these questions is limited while our officers continue their important work
Gassner remains in custody and is being transported back to Alberta, where RCMP said future court dates will be determined.
