Two people were taken to hospital following the shooting, including a man in his 50s in life-threatening condition. His condition has since been upgraded to stable.

According to police, a man, believed to be meeting a woman who lived there for a date, entered one of the units in the apartment complex.

Police said the man allegedly locked the door and began shooting, striking a man who was in a bedroom in the apartment.

A stray bullet also went through the wall and struck an innocent man in the next apartment, the CPS said.

It is believed the shooting is a targeted incident.

Calgary police are thanking the public for their help in the investigation.
