Police say when they arrived, they found a man in his 40s with critical injuries as the result of a shooting. He was rushed to hospital, where he died a short time later.

Staff Sgt. Kevin Dyrgas said police believe the shooting was targeted. No one is in custody in connection with the incident.

“We don’t know who the offender is,” said Dyrgas. “It’s not a random incident.”

A woman was taken in for questioning from the shooting scene, which Dyrgas said was on the side of Bowness Road.

Police had the road between 45th Street and 46th Street cordoned off with crime-scene tape Saturday morning and were diverting traffic. Dyrgas said investigators are talking to witnesses and canvassing businesses in the area.
