Two people are in custody following an investigation by Winnipeg police into a shooting on Monday.
General patrol officers and members of the tactical support team were called to the James Avenue and Princess Street area on Monday at about 7:15 p.m., for multiple firearm-related incidents.
Police found that the occupants of a white van confronted a group in the area of Main Street and Pacific Avenue. Following a verbal exchange, a man from the van fired a gun, striking a female youth. She was taken to the hospital in unstable condition, which was later upgraded to stable.
At about 8 p.m. on Monday, officers found the abandoned van in the 400 block of Toronto Street. A female and male youth were arrested. Both are said to have possessed a gun.
The two remain in police custody and are facing charges.
An investigation is ongoing.
