Shooting in northeast Calgary leaves 1 person dead
A person is dead following a shooting in northeast Calgary on Friday evening.
The incident happened around 7:20 p.m., at a home in the 200 block of Homestead Drive N.E.
Police say a man was found dead.
EMS confirmed they declared one person dead at the scene.
There were no other patients, EMS say.
Multiple officers including homicide detectives were on scene into the evening to investigate.
One resident, who only wanted to be identified as Godwin, said he arrived home about 30 minutes before the shooting.
An hour later, he noticed all the flashing lights down the road from his house and that the area was taped off.
"It was terrifying; very surreal, actually. You never really expect it's going to happen in your neighbourhood until it inevitably happens," he said.
He and his family went down into the basement for a bit.
"It was a scary and terrifying experience. I think it made it less scary because the police weren't knocking on people's doors telling us to stay inside."
Witness reports and CCTV footage were collected from the scene.
Police locked down much of the street and an alleyway.
Police are now searching for suspects and say they believe the incident was targeted.
Anyone else with information or CCTV footage is asked to call police at 403-266-1234 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
