“It’s not a great feeling when you hear about a shooting in the area. You expect the city to be safe,” said Aryan Batel, who lives right in front of the area where the shooting happened.
Andrew Davenport has lived in Calgary for nine years. He said he noticed the increase of homelessness in the past five to six years, especially in Kensington where he lives. However, he said he isn’t too worried.
“There are a few things to worry about but it’s nowhere near the extreme where you have to worry about things all the time,” he told Global News. “You really have to have your wits about you at all times because you never know when something’s going to go sideways and it can happen in a real hurry.”
