CALGARY – One man died and a second person was injured last night after a shooting in a neighbourhood immediately north of Calgary’s downtown.

The shooting near a grocery store in the Kensington business district around 9:30 p.m. resulted in a major police response, including a helicopter circling the area.

Calgary EMS told CTV News that a man in his 20s died near the scene.

It was the second shooting to take place in a high-traffic area on the same day.

Earlier Wednesday, a man was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition after a midday shooting on a Calgary Transit bus in downtown’s East Village.
