Calgary police have charged a man eight months after a shooting that sent another man to hospital with critical injuries.
Shots were fired at a home on Cranston Park S.E. in the early morning hours of Dec. 7, 2020.
A short while later, 911 received a call about a man who’d been shot and was in need of help along Cranston Drive S.E.
Investigators believe the man found on Cranston Drive was injured in the incident on Cranston Park, and that he tried to get himself to the hospital.
Police performed first aid on the man until paramedics arrived and he was taken to hospital.

- Aggravated assault
- Discharge of a firearm
- Possession of a loaded firearm
- Carrying a concealed weapon
