Shooting Investigation Arrests - C15-223995
On October 24, 2015, shortly before 12:30 a.m. emergency personnel were dispatched to the area of Autumnwood Drive and Winakwa Road for the report of a person having been shot.

A female youth was found suffering from a single gunshot wound to the upper body.  She was transported to hospital in critical condition.

Investigation revealed that the victim, along with others, had been sitting in a vehicle when one of the occupants exchanged words with one of two unknown males.  The male approached the vehicle.  A firearm was produced and discharged, striking the victim.  The suspects then fled the area.

At approximately 8:30 a.m. the Service received the report of a firearm having been stolen the previous evening from the residence of an off-duty RCMP officer in the South East area of the city.

Investigators later located and arrested one of the suspects without incident in the North end area of the city.
