EDITOR’S NOTE: Although police originally told Global News two people were injured in the shooting and that both were co-operating with investigators, they later clarified that only one person was injured and the victim was, in fact, not co-operating with investigators.
Calgary police are searching for a man thought to be involved in an early morning shooting outside a bar on 16 Avenue N.E.
Police were called to the parking lot of Juliet’s Castle Sports Lounge in the 400 block of 16 Avenue N.E. at around 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday for reports of shots fired.
According to the Calgary Police Service, it’s believed an argument that started in the bar moved outside, at which time it turned physical. During the course of the fight, a man in his 20s was shot.

The victim drove himself to the Peter Lougheed Centre. Police said he was determined to be in stable condition.
Police said the victim isn’t co-operating with investigators.
Police said the staff at Juliet’s Castle locked the doors when they heard gunshots in an effort to protect the customers who were still inside and later checked outside to see if they could find anyone who had been injured.
According to a Tuesday news release from police, early indications are that the suspect is a heavy-set man with dreadlocks.
The shooting has caused a section of 16 Avenue N.E. to be closed down between Edmonton Trail N.E. and 4 Street N.E.
As witnesses neglected to remain at the scene, police said they’re hoping for anyone with information about this shooting to call their non-emergency line at 403-266-1234 or contact Crime Stoppers.
