Man and teen face charges in weekend West End shooting

Winnipeg police say two people are facing a long list of charges after a shooting on Sunday sent a man to hospital in unstable condition.

The 40-year-old victim has since been upgraded to critical but stable condition.

Investigators now say the two parties didn’t know each other prior to the shooting, which happened after the two suspects and the victim got into an argument.

Police responded to the area of Arlington Street and Notre Dame Avenue at approximately 12:30 a.m. Sunday for a report a man had been shot.
