Calgary police look for witnesses of targeted triple-shooting
WATCH: Police have released more information on the shooting Friday night in Calgary that left two men dead and another injured. As Carolyn Kury de Castillo reports, it appears to have been a targeted attack – Aug 29, 2020

Calgary police said Saturday that they’re hoping witnesses will come forward, after a triple-shooting that left two people dead and sent another to hospital.

Police were called to the northwest community of Sandstone Valley at around 8:40 p.m. Friday.

When officers arrived, two men, 27 and 19 years old, were found dead. Another male youth was taken to hospital where he was listed in stable condition as of Saturday morning.

Anne Dela Rosa​ lives nearby and heard a “dull, loud thump” at the time.

“We just peeked out the window and saw the car front facing the tree over there and that was it. I thought it was just some accident,” she said Saturday.​​
