Calgary police investigators were busy Sunday as they responded to a second shooting in the city within a span of 15 hours.
Around 7 p.m. police were called to the neighbourhood of Penbrooke Meadows for reports of gunshots in the 5500 block of Eighth Avenue Southeast.
In a news release, the Calgary Police Service said witnesses told them they noticed two vehicles in the area exchanging gunfire.
Officers found one vehicle in the southeast community believed to be involved in the shooting. Police said a man in the vehicle was suffering from what appeared to be a gunshot wound.
The man was taken to the hospital in stable condition, while police continued to search for the second vehicle allegedly involved.
