Winnipeg police have two people in custody after a man was shot in the West End on Thursday.
Police were called to a home on Beverley Street just before 6 a.m., where they found the man outside with a gunshot wound.
Officers provided emergency care, including a chest seal, and the 24-year-old victim was rushed to hospital in unstable condition. He has since been upgraded to stable condition.
Police announced two arrests in the case Friday.
They say a woman was arrested inside the home and a man was taken into custody near Victor Street and Ellice Avenue.
Officers found and seized a firearm believed to have been used in the shooting after executing a search warrant at the home.
Investigators say the victim was previously known to at least one of the suspects and the shooting happened inside the home.
A 20-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman, both from Winnipeg, are each facing a number of charges including aggravated assault and robbery.
Police are continuing to investigate.
