Alberta Health Services confirmed in an email that a teenager was in a life-threatening condition after being taken to hospital by emergency services. At around 2:45 p.m., the Edmonton Police Department (EPS) received reports of an attack outside McNally High School, said Landis Reichle, EPS liaison officer. Reichle said a nearby Edmonton Fire Department unit arrived at the scene and treated the victim, a “young male” who remains in hospital in stable but critical condition. Jaydaan Bayne, 21, was working on a home-university job when he saw the situation unfold. Bayne said around 3 a.m. a police car was “flying” on the grass outside the school near a bus stop at 84th Street.

He said a group of about 50 to 60 people usually gather at this post-school bus stop and everything seemed normal until the police patrol arrived, which made people at the stop go in different directions and separate. “In two more minutes there were about eight police cars, a fire truck, an ambulance,” Bayne said. “Very quickly the ambulance came and they took whoever was on a stretcher, squeezing his chest up to the ambulance and then they took a police escort and left.” Bayne said the victim was a non-Caucasian man and police told him “someone was beaten very badly”. Police had cut the area with yellow tape with only a backpack and some police and investigators inside. Police are investigating the scene outside McNally High School near the bus stop on Friday, April 8, 2022 in Edmonton. A witness saw a young man being transported on a stretcher while receiving chest compressions.
