Suspects arrested after man shot in his Lethbridge home
A man and a woman have been arrested following a Monday morning shooting at a westside Lethbridge home that sent one man to hospital.
Emergency crews responded to a home on Rutgers Crescent West shortly before 6:30 a.m. for reports of an assault and found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to hospital where, as of Tuesday, he remained in stable condition.
