Calgary shooting suspect arrested after climbing out 4th floor window
One of two suspects in a shooting at a Beltline apartment building was arrested after climbing out a fourth-floor window as police executed a search warrant.
The gunfire happened about 3 a.m. on Tuesday in the 900 block of 14th Avenue S.W. when a resident woke up to a loud bang and found a hole in his bedroom wall, just above his headboard.
Investigators obtained a warrant on Wednesday and the tactical team was called in to assist.
"Just prior to their entry, one of the suspects was observed scaling down the exterior of the building from the fourth floor," police said.
