Shortly after 5:00 a.m., emergency crews responded to a home in the 1900 block of 36 St. S..W following multiple calls to 911 reporting gunshots.

According to EMS spokesperson Adam Loria, EMS crews transported multiple patients to hospital, including one person in life threatening condition.
CPS Det. Steve Adair says two other people later showed up at local hospitals for treatment.
The victims, male and female, range in age from the early twenties to thirties.
The most severely injured victim remained in the Foothills Hospital in life threatening condition. A cousin of the victim confirmed the man's identity as Abdullahi Ahmed, a Calgarian in his twenties. The gunshot victim was of Somali heritage and relocated to Calgary six or seven years ago.
