Shooting in southwest Calgary sends 1 to hospital

Officials told CTV News that police were called to the scene, in the 1700 block of 28th Avenue S.W., at approximately 4:15 p.m. for reports of shots being fired.
Police found one victim at the scene in non-life-threatening condition.
EMS says paramedics took an adult male in his mid-30s to Foothills Medical Centre in serious condition.
The man was taken into surgery Tuesday evening, police say.
Police say a second victim, who left the area before they arrived, was picked up by a passerby not far away.
The passerby's plan was to take the victim to hospital, but the victim wanted to be — and was — let out somewhere downtown, police say.
The victim never showed up at any hospital.
No arrests have been made in connection to this incident at this time.
