Attempted murder charges laid following weekend shooting

The Calgary Police Service has charged a man and woman with attempted murder after a shooting in Marlborough yesterday.

Just before 2 a.m., police were called to the 100 block of Marlyn Place N.E., for reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, three people were taken into custody for questioning, and one man was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition. The victim’s condition was later upgraded to stable but serious.
