Winnipeg police: man charged in North End shooting

A 25-year-old man has been charged with multiple offenses after allegedly shooting another man with a shotgun during an argument at a North End home last month.

Officers said the victim, also 25, went to the hospital on Oct. 10 with serious upper body injuries from a gunshot.

Investigators learned the shooting occurred at a home in the 700 block of Flora Avenue. A suspect was identified and arrested on Oct. 10 in the 1000 block of Logan Avenue.

Police allege the suspect and victim knew each other and got into an argument over personal property, which escalated to the suspect firing a shotgun at the victim, hitting him in the upper body.

The suspect is charged with aggravated assault, discharging a firearm with intent, pointing a firearm and unauthorized possession of a firearm.

He was taken into custody.
