Winnipeg police say they’ve made an arrest in a shooting that took place at an Osborne Street lounge early last month.
Police were flagged down early on the morning of Feb. 6 and alerted to an injured 29-year-old man inside a licensed establishment that had closed for the night.
The man was given emergency medical care, including a chest seal, by police while awaiting paramedics before being taken to hospital in unstable condition, later upgraded to stable.
Officers learned that a number of people had been in the building after it closed, and two groups got into a fight, which escalated into the shooting.
