KEN GIGLIOTTI / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Two people were shot near Portage Avenue and Carlton Street.

Police will be using forensic evidence to try to figure out more about a shooting early Monday that wounded two people on Carlton Street just south of Portage Avenue.

The shooting wounded a 28-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman, who were walking with a small group of people from a nearby business at about 2:30 a.m. The two people were in stable condition in hospital.

Police said it’s unknown if there was one or more shots fired, but said there’s an indication there were multiple shots. "We don’t know that for sure at this point," said police spokesman Const. Jason Michalyshen.

Michalyshen said police are looking into what the motive for the shooting was. He said the two victims – who were acquaintances – are co-operating with police and aren’t known criminals.

Police said a vehicle may have been involved in the shooting, but were careful to caution media that the incident wasn’t necessarily a drive-by shooting.
