Saskatoon police say five people have been charged in connection with a shooting that happened Saturday afternoon.

The 33-year-old male victim is in hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.

Three men — aged 23, 28 and 31 — as well as two women — aged 19 and 24 — are facing more than 40 charges combined, including aggravated assault and break and enter.

Police said an off-duty officer saw people fleeing a hotel in the 600 block of Idylwyld Dr. around 5:30 p.m. CST on Saturday. Shortly thereafter, the suspects were found in a home on the 200 block of 26th Street West and arrested.

Police believe the victim and suspects are known to each other.
