One man is dead and another is in hospital in critical condition following a shooting early Monday morning in northeast Calgary.

Police received multiple reports of shots being fired in the 100 block of Rundlemere Road N.E. just before 4 a.m.

No one was there when officers arrived but police said a short time later two shooting victims, both men in their 20s, were dropped off at the Peter Lougheed Centre in critical condition.

One victim died a short time later, police said.

“What I heard last night was gunshots,” said Arek Yag, who lives nearby. “My partner woke me up and I heard it and went back to sleep. [I] thought nothing of it.”

On Tuesday, police identified the fatal victim as Keem Geng, 22.

Officers added that the victim who survived, also a 22-year-old man, sustained life-altering injuries and remains in hospital in stable condition.
