CALGARY -- The Calgary Police Service is investigating a pair of early morning shootings — one in Rundle and one in Thorncliffe — that sent a total of three people to hospital.
Emergency crews responded to the 500 block of Rundleville Pl. N.E. shortly before 5 a.m. after two people suffering from gunshot wounds arrived at the Peter Lougheed Centre. Police say the gunshot victims were in stable condition with injuries not considered to be life threatening.
Officers cordoned off a home and a nearby pathway in a greenspace as part of the investigation. Bear spray had been discharged in the home prior to the arrival of police.
An abandoned elite-model Honda CRV was located in the middle of the street less than two blocks from the scene.
According to police, the shooting victims are not cooperating with the investigation.
Several people are in custody in connection with the shooting in Rundle and police confirm at least one is considered a suspect.
A shooting attack also took place at a home in the 5500 block of Centre St. N.E. Friday morning shortly before 4 a.m.
Police say a man in his 40s was transported by ambulance to the Foothills Medical Centre in non-life threatening condition.
Several people who were in the home at the time of the shooting are being questioned and, according to police, are considered potential suspects. A sign in the window of the home states individual rooms are available for rent.
Police say there is no indication that the shootings are related but the investigations into the separate attacks continue.
Anyone with information about either shooting is asked to contact the Calgary Police Service at 403-266-1234 or anonymous tips may be submitted to Crime Stoppers.
Correction:
Police officials originally indicated the two victims of the Rundle shooting were transported to hospital by ambulance. The victims made their way to hospital without EMS involvement.
