Four shootings in three days shake Calgary

Calgary police have responded to four shootings over three days, all since Friday's National Day Against Gun Violence.

The most recent incident happened around 3:30 a.m. Sunday in the 4000 block of 104 Avenue NE, with no injuries reported and an investigation ongoing.

Friday morning, a man showed up at a southeast Calgary home seeking help after being shot. Police believe he was shot inside a home on the 1400 block of 44 Street, near Forest Lawn High School, then fled with a man and woman who left before police arrived.

That same evening, two men were shot at an apartment building on the Beltline around 10:50 p.m. One man was initially in critical condition but upgraded to stable with life-altering injuries. A second victim was discovered at the hospital in stable condition with life-altering injuries. Police took a driver into custody but said no one is in custody for the shooting itself, with no active risk to the public.

Saturday around 2:40 a.m., a man was found with a gunshot wound to his leg under a bridge downtown on the 400 block of 5 Avenue SE. Police believe he was approached by two unknown men who wanted his belongings, and the situation escalated to a physical fight before the victim was shot. He was treated for minor injuries.

Acting Staff Sergeant Corey Der said the pattern is concerning. "It's troubling to see firearm-related incidents continue to happen across the city, causing real harm and fear in our communities," he said, adding that police rely on public information to address gun violence.
