Emergency crews were called to the eastern edge of the city limits early Tuesday morning after what appears to be a random break and enter took a violent turn.
Police said around 3:45 a.m., they were called to a rural residence along Hart Estate Boulevard, a rural property about halfway between Calgary and Chestermere.
Investigators said a man and woman were inside the home at the time of the break-in, and that there was an altercation.
A man, believed to be the homeowner, was taken to hospital in stable condition, according to police. EMS said a man in his late 60s suffered injuries to his neck. EMS said it was unclear how the man sustained the injuries.
Police said they do have a suspect in the case, but no one has yet been taken into custody. A description hasn’t been released.
Police said there is nothing to indicate this was a targeted home invasion.
Police are calling a car that was towed from the scene a vehicle of interest, but didn’t clarify how it was related to the investigation.
A forensic team has been called in to investigate.
