2 injured and multiple in custody after shooting in southeast Calgary

Several people were taken into custody after a shooting in the southeast Calgary community of Radisson Heights on Tuesday night.

Emergency crews responded to multiple 911 calls reporting gunfire around 6:55 p.m. in the 2700 block of 12th Avenue S.E.

Police and EMS found injured individuals at the scene. One person was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition, but has since been upgraded to stable. Another person suffered injuries that were not life-threatening.

A nearby resident told CTV News the gunfire sounded sporadic and said he counted more than 15 rounds fired in two minutes.

“Once police arrived, we located a scene with multiple rounds that had been fired off,” said Insp. Mike Schute with the Calgary Police Service. “We learned that two vehicles had an interaction — multiple rounds were fired and believed to be return-fired.”

The vehicles fled the scene, and police say several people were later seen entering a nearby apartment. Investigators believe the incident was targeted.

Police confirmed several individuals were taken into custody at the scene, but no charges have been laid at this time.

Anyone with information about the incident — including CCTV or dashcam footage — is asked to contact Calgary police at 403-266-1234.
