One person has been taken to the hospital and two are in custody after a shooting took place on a city bus in Calgary on Wednesday afternoon.
The Counter Signal’s Keean Bexte was on the scene following the incident, where police had secured the premises. Blood can be spotted from within the crime scene tape.
The incident took place near Central Library in downtown Calgary.
“I spoke to one person who was on the bus who was pepper sprayed and heard a ‘pop’,” Jordan Kanygin reports from CTV.
Kanygin further said the fight spilled out onto the streets.
Last week, a man was taken into custody in Calgary after stabbing multiple people, putting at least one victim in critical condition.
These incidents are happening on the regular in Calgary as of late.
Two weeks ago, Calgary’s Mayor Gondek issued a plea for more resources after different stabbing, despite voting to defund the police budget in 2020 by $20 million.
“I have made it clear to Administration that I expect immediate action and additional resources to be deployed,” she said.
“We cannot wait for the next tragedy to occur before something more is done.”
