According to police, 39-year-old Dion James Bear of Calgary succumbed in hospital following Monday evening’s shooting in the 100 block of Douglasbank Way S.E.
At approximately 8:00 p.m., officers responded to reports of a disturbance and a break-and-enter at a home in Douglasdale. On arrival, CPS members located a man suffering from life threatening injuries, a woman with serious injuries and a man with minor injuries.
