Shooting Incident Leads to Arrest
At approximately 11:00 p.m. on Tuesday evening a confrontation occurred between two known males on the street in the area of Charles Street and Dufferin Avenue. This confrontation was a result of an on-going dispute between the males over matters not clear to police. They parted ways and at approximately 2:00 a.m. Wednesday morning, the suspect returned to the area armed with a .22 rifle. The suspect came across the victim and two of his friends at Charles Street and Flora Avenue and at that point the suspect proceeded to fire a shot at the 18 year-old-male victim, striking the victim in the back. The suspect then fled the area and the victim was discovered by a police cruiser as he made his way home on foot. The victim was conveyed to hospital and underwent surgery to remove the bullet. He remains in stable condition, and awaits police interview.
Later in the day, Detectives from the District # 3 station arrested a male in the 300 block of Pritchard Avenue and recovered the weapon allegedly used in this offence. Charged with Attempt Murder, Cause Bodily Harm with Firearm, and a host of weapons related offences is Cory Lee PRINCE, 21 years, of Winnipeg. He was detained in custody.
