A Calgary man has been charged after he was taken into custody by police following an officer-involved shooting in northeast Calgary Wednesday afternoon that left one man dead, a police officer hospitalized, and local business owners flabbergasted.
Police said the arrest on Wednesday was connected to a late September shooting.
On Saturday, Sept. 30, around 2:45 p.m., a driver phoned in a shooting between two vehicles on westbound Glenmore Trail near 37 Street S.W.
Both vehicles fled that scene and no injuries were reported.
Around a half-hour later, police were called to a residence in the 100 block of Seton Passage S.E. for reports that a man had been shot while parking.
Officers arrived to discover a man suffering from gunshot wounds and transported him to hospital in serious condition. A subsequent investigation revealed that four surrounding homes were hit by bullets fired by the shooter, prior to fleeing the scene in a stolen vehicle.
Admitted serial killer Jeremy Skibicki’s defence lawyers have argued the accused had a history of schizophrenic delusions culminating in ‘catastrophic circumstances,’ while Crown prosecutors say the killings of four vulnerable Indigenous women were driven by Skibicki’s racist views and deviant sexual urges.
