Winnipeg police are looking for suspects involved in two separate shootings Wednesday.
The first report of shots fired came in shortly after 5:30 a.m. at a home in the 400 block of Maryland Street.
Police found a 29-year-old man with a gunshot wound.
Officers provided medical care before the victim was rushed to hospital in unstable condition. He has since been upgraded to stable condition.
Police were then called to a report of shots fired and an assault near a restaurant in the 600 block of St. James Street just before 7 p.m.
Investigators say a group of people left the restaurant and got into a ridesharing vehicle, where they say a “disagreement ensued.”
They say the 28-year-old driver was assaulted with a firearm and several shots were fired before the suspects fled the area.
The driver was injured but did not need to go to hospital, police said Thursday.
The major crimes unit is investigating both shootings.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS.
