Winnipeg police have made a second arrest in the shooting of a 50-year-old man on Tuesday.
Officers say the shooting occurred on Sept. 29, 2022, on Sherbrook Street.
A group of people broke into the victim’s suite, attacked him with bear spray then shot him. The man was hospitalized with serious injuries, but was later upgraded to stable condition.
The same suspects were linked to a separate incident on the same day, when a Westgrove Way home was broken into by a man holding a firearm and bear spray.
