Edmonton police are asking the public for help identifying a man following a shooting at a pizza restaurant in north Edmonton.

EPS say a man entered a restaurant near 133 Street and 114 Avenue with a gun.

He then reportedly shot a 55-year-old employee before fleeing the scene.

Paramedics attended to scene and treated the man before taking him to hospital with serious life-threatening injuries.

The suspect has been described as wearing a black bulky coat with a hooded sweater underneath, black pants/jeans that are tight around the calf, black shoes or boots and a multi-coloured face covering.
