Indian-origin man, minor son shot dead in 'gang violence' in Canada

A 41-year-old Sikh man of Indian origin, Harpreet Singh Uppal, and his 11-year-old son were shot dead in Edmonton, the capital city of Canada's Alberta province, PTI reported on Saturday. The boy's friend, who was also in the car, reportedly managed to escape unharmed in the incident. The Edmonton Police Service's acting superintendent, Colin Derksen, said the shooting could be part of an escalation of gang violence, as Uppal was a prominent figure in Canada's organized crime scene.
