In a news release in April, police said they were called to an altercation on a bus as it was moving. When the driver stopped the bus, the incident escalated and the shooting occurred near the Central Library, injuring one man.

Police said bystanders attempted life-saving measures for the man, who was transported to hospital in a life-threatening condition.

Occupants of the bus fled the area during the shooting, including those involved in the altercation. Police said two people were taken into custody shortly after on Ninth Avenue near Fort Calgary.

On Sunday, police said Theoran Yellowoldwoman, 28, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, knowledge of unauthorized possession of a firearm, careless use of a firearm, two counts of firearm possession contrary to a prohibition order and one count of breach of a probation order.
