Attempted murder charges laid after man shot in Winnipeg alley
A 32-year-old man is charged with attempted murder after a man was shot in Winnipeg's West End on Sunday night.
The man was arrested Monday night in the city's North End after police tracked him to a vehicle in the area. A loaded handgun was found in the car.
In addition to attempted murder, the man is charged with numerous firearms offences and failure to comply with a probation order.
Police don't know the motive for the shooting but say the men knew each other and the incident was not random.
Officers were called around 9:50 p.m. on Sunday to the alley between Sherbrook and Maryland streets, behind the Safeway store on Sargent Avenue.
The victim, a 36-year-old man, was rushed to hospital with injuries to his upper body and remains in critical condition.
Police taped off the alley and a vacant lot into Monday afternoon.
