Two men in their 30s were arrested Wednesday after an early afternoon shooting in southeast Calgary.
Officers rushed to the scene, in the 3900 block of 30 Avenue S.E. at about 12:30 p.m. after receiving multiple reports of gunshots.
One man was taken to hospital in stable condition. Police later said he was a man in his 20s and had been shot in the shoulder.
Investigators said the incident started with a fight, and believe the suspects and victim knew each other, and the shooting was targeted.
A weapon was recovered and officers were still canvassing the neighbourhood looking for witnesses and CCTV footage to help with their investigation.

Wednesday’s shooting was the second Calgary police responded to in the last 24 hours.
Officers were called to the South Health Campus hospital at about 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday after a man who’d been shot was dropped off there.
The victim was in life-threatening condition when he was dropped off, but has since been upgraded to stable.
Investigators don’t yet know where the man was shot, and are working to come up with suspect descriptions.
Police don’t believe it is connected to Wednesday’s shooting.
Police are also asking those living in the area of Falconridge to keep an eye out for any evidence of a shooting, after several calls came in on Tuesday night of possible gunshots in that community, as well as the 400 block of 15 Avenue N.E.
Anyone with information on either incident is asked to contact the Calgary Police Service.
