Calgary police are investigating an overnight shooting in the Kensington area Thursday.
Multiple 911 calls came in shortly after 3 a.m. for what police said was an altercation that broke out between two groups of people along 10 Street and 3 Avenue N.W.
One person was shot as both parties sped away in vehicles, police said.
Eyewitness Kalika Herman said shots rang out after two groups of men started arguing on the street. She was woken up by the sound of arguing.
“There were two guys across the street, fighting with the four guys in the truck. Then, the one guy came across the street and shot six gunshots off,” she said.
“He was shooting them all over the place.”
Police confirmed the victim was dropped off at the Sheldon Chumir Centre downtown. The 34-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to the forearm and was transported from the centre to the hospital, EMS said.
Calgary police said anecdotally, there has been no change in crime and shootings in Kensington. No suspects have been arrested in relation to the shooting.
