One person is dead and another seriously injured in a Thursday afternoon shooting in northeast Calgary.
According to an update given by the Calgary Police Service, there were two male victims of the shooting, both victims were taken to hospital, one of the victims died and the other is in life-threatening condition.
The suspect was arrested by police after crashing their vehicle at the intersection of Sunridge Boulevard and 26 Street Northeast. Another person was involved in the crash but police reported that they had no injuries.
Police said it is believed all three males, the two victims and the suspect, knew each other but could not confirm if the attack was targeted or if gunfire was exchanged between the three men.
Emergency crews were called to the 2700 block of 23 Street N.E., in the South Airways business park, shortly after 5:30 p.m. Thursday for reports of shots fired.
A man, age not confirmed, suffering from a gunshot wound was located and taken to hospital where he later died.
The shooter fled the area prior to the arrival of police, but CPS officials confirm to Global News that a ‘person of interest’ was found and was being questioned. Investigators are not looking for any other suspects as of 7 p.m. and say the public is no longer at risk.
The identity of the deceased has not been released.
