CALGARY – Police have charged one man with attempted murder in connection to a shooting in Pineridge in 2014.
The incident happened on Thursday, October 23rd, as two groups of men gathered for a prearranged meeting in the 6700 block of 26th Avenue N.E.
The men were gathered inside of two cars which were side by side when someone in one of the vehicles fired shots into the other.
One of the bullets hit a man in the face. He later admitted himself to the Peter Lougheed Centre.
Three days later, 22-year-old Amaninder Singh turned himself in to police.
He is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, five counts of failing to comply and multiple firearms offences.
The Calgary Police Service announced the charges on Friday, after the conclusion of several operations by their Guns and Gangs Unit.
“Since October of last year, we’ve been quite busy suppressing violence and investigating a series of shootings,” said Sgt. Jason Walker.
“We’re just taking some time now to catch our breath and share some of the investigative success that we’ve had.”
