CBC
Three people are dead and two are critically injured after a shooting on Langside Street early Sunday morning, Winnipeg police say.
Police were called to the 100 block of Langside just after 4 a.m., public information officer Jason Michalyshen told reporters at a news conference outside police headquarters.
A man and a woman were pronounced dead at the scene, and another three victims — two men and a woman — were taken to the hospital in critical condition, Michalyshen said.
One of the men has since died. The victims are still being identified.
At least five police cars were at the scene near Langside Grocery at about 9 a.m. Officers blocked off Langside from Sara Avenue to Westminster Avenue.
A forensics vehicle was also on the scene at about 10 a.m.
Kelly Nickel, who lives in an apartment nearby, said police knocked on the building's door at about 4:20 a.m.
"When we came out, we saw that the street was blocked off and there's police cars everywhere," Nickel said. "It's pretty scary that something like this would happen just a few doors down from where we live."
A homicide detective came by at about 8:30 a.m. asking for footage from the building's doorbell camera, Nickel said.
"Hopefully this doesn't happen again around here," Nickel said.
