Two charged, guns seized following apartment shooting

Two men have been charged in connection with a shooting in a downtown apartment earlier this week.

Around 3 a.m., on Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2022, police were called to an apartment in the 900 block of 14 Avenue S.W., when the resident reported waking up to a loud bang and finding a hole in his bedroom wall, just above the headboard of his bed. Based on the evidence at the scene, officers believed a shotgun was fired from the neighbouring apartment. Thankfully, no one was injured as a result of the shooting.

Investigators obtained a warrant to enter the apartment and the Tactical Unit was called to assist in executing the warrant on Wednesday, Jan. 26, 2022. Just prior to their entry, one of the suspects was observed scaling down the exterior of the building from the fourth floor. He was swiftly taken into custody without incident. A second suspect was arrested within the apartment.

The following items were seized from the apartment:

  • .270 caliber rifle rounds
  • .22 caliber rifle rounds
  • 9mm rounds
  • Small amount of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia
  • Loaded .270 bolt-action Savage rifle
  • Loaded 12-guage Derya MK12 shotgun
  • Unloaded silver sawed off pistol grip, pump-action shotgun
  • Break barrel .177 caliber BB rifle
  • .177 caliber black BB handgun
  • Body armour
  • Swords
  • Metal box containing an assortment of ammunition

Photos of the seized items are available on The City of Calgary Newsroom.

Michael STOFFELS, 39, of Calgary, faces 13 charges including:

  • Three counts of unsafe storage of a firearm
  • Three counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm
  • Two counts of possession of a firearm with ammunition
  • Two counts of possession of firearm obtained by crime
  • One count of possession of firearm with defaced serial number
  • One count of possession of firearm while prohibited
  • One count of breach of release order

STOFFELS will next appear in court on April 21, 2022.

Paul Joseph FETTIG, 40, of Calgary, faces 11 charges including:

  • Three counts of unsafe storage of a firearm
  • Three counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm
  • Two counts of possession of a firearm with ammunition
  • Two counts of possession of firearm obtained by crime
  • One count of possession of firearm with defaced serial number

FETTIG will next appear in court on April 20, 2022.

“This was a terrifying event for the occupants who awoke to the sound of a gunshot big enough to blast a whole in the wall, right above where they were sleeping. Illegal use and storage of firearms is a matter of public safety that we take very seriously,” says General Investigations Unit Staff Sgt. Kurt Jacobs.
