One man was critically injured in a shooting in the southeast Calgary community of McKenzie Towne on Friday.
Police said they were called to the 200 block of Elgin Meadows Gardens Southeast around 2 a.m. for reports of shots fired.
Paramedics took two men to the Foothills Medical Centre — one with life-threatening injuries and the other with non-life threatening injuries, EMS said.
Police told Global News the victims were found in the street: one with a gunshot wound to the chest and the other with a gunshot wound to his leg.
Mckinnon lives just a few doors down from the shooting and said the violence is “too close to home.”
“It’s time to move to a safer neighbourhood, I guess.”
Another area resident, Katie Felt, told Global News she heard four gunshots and ran to her window in time to see a white truck speed off.
“And then we heard somebody screaming for help,” Felt said.
