Police shut down a major thoroughfare in Calgary for several hours Saturday morning as they investigated a possible drive by shooting.
Detective Steve Adair tells 660News a man flagged down an ambulance just before 3:00a.m. and was rushed to hospital.
He says the victim was shot in the chest and, at last check was in serious but stable condition.
17th Avenue southwest was shut down between 2nd and 5th Streets while investigators swept the scene for clues.
“The scene is in the 300 block of 17th Ave S.W. This is where we believe the shooting may have taken place, but it’s still not confirmed yet.”
There’s no word on suspects, but anyone in the area at the time is asked to call police.
