Two people charged in attempted kidnapping and shooting incident

Following a complex investigation by several teams within the Calgary Police Service, four search warrants were executed resulting in the seizure of multiple guns and the arrest of three suspects, two believed to be connected to an attempted kidnapping and shooting earlier this month.

Around 10:30 a.m., on Friday, Jan. 6, 2023, police were called for reports of a shooting in the 1300 block of Seventh Street S.W. Investigators believe a man and woman were walking down the street when a man got out of a vehicle, pointed a gun at the male pedestrian and demanded he get in the vehicle. A physical struggle ensued between the suspect and the victim, during which the gun was fired. The pedestrian was able to break free and flee the area. He received only minor injuries as a result, and no one was injured by the gunfire. It is believed that the female pedestrian was known to the offenders and this was not a random attack. 

A complex investigation was conducted that resulted in the execution of four search warrants on Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2023. The searches were conducted at four residences including in the 0 to 100 block of Citadel Estates Terrace N.W., in the 300 block of Templeview Drive N.E., in the 0 to 100 block of Fonda Crescent S.E., and a home in the 1900 block of Ash Crescent S.E.
