Winnipeg Police Services Major Crime Unit are investigating two separate shooting incidents that happened on Wednesday, January 18, 2023.

Around 5:30 am officers responded to a residence in the 400 block of Maryland Street after they received a report that a gunshot had been heard. When police arrived they found a 29-year-old male inside the residence suffering from a gunshot wound. They provided emergency medical care, which included the use of a tourniquet. The victim was taken to the hospital in unstable condition but has since been upgraded to stable.

Around 7:00 pm police responded to a second gunshot incident at a restaurant in the 600 block of St. James Street.

Police say that they believe a group of people had left the business and got into a nearby ridesharing vehicle. A disagreement occurred and the 28-year-old male driver was assaulted with a firearm. Investigators say several shots were fired before the group fled the area.

The driver was injured in the incident but did not need to go to the hospital.

Anyone with information on either of these incidents is asked to call police at (204) 986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at (204) 786-8477
