A Winnipeg man is in custody after an armed home invasion on Church Avenue Wednesday morning, police say.
Officers were called to the scene around 8 a.m. and learned that two people, one armed with a pellet gun, forced their way into the home after arguing with a 53-year-old resident, who was shot multiple times before the suspects ran off.
The man was taken to hospital in stable condition. Police searched the area and found a 29-year-old suspect at an apartment complex on the same block of Church.
