2022 gun violence in Calgary
This shooting comes on the heels of Calgary police saying Wednesday they’d responded to 91 shootings in the city so far this year.
While they’d laid recent charges and seized firearms connected with organized crime, not all firearms incidents are gang related.
“What we are seeing now is firearms being used in the commission of all types of crime, by offenders who are not organized crime offenders,” said Insp. Jodi Gach of the CPS Organized Crime and Offender Management Section.
“While motivation for gun violence varies, each incident leaves a trail of Calgarians impacted. In each case, there are witnesses, family members, neighbours and business owners who deal with the consequences of this reckless violence,” Insp. Gach said.
Calgary police are asking anyone with information on this recent shooting to contact police at 403-266-1234.
