One man is dead and another is in critical condition after reports of gunfire early Monday morning.
A Calgary Police Service release states that police had responded to reports of shots being fired on the 100 block of Rundlemere Road NE at around 3:45 am on December 30, though when police arrived at the scene, no one was there.
However, two shooting victims were dropped off at hospital a short while later, according to police. The two men, both in their 20s, were in critical condition, and one succumbed to his injuries.

Police believe that this had been a targeted shooting, though “at this time there is nothing to indicate it is connected to the Boxing Day shooting,” which police also believe to have been a targeted attack.
The release notes that the two men had been dropped off in a white 2018 Ford Fusion with the Alberta plate CFB-8504.

An autopsy will be conducted sometime next week, the release states, and the identity of the deceased will not be released until next of kin is notified.
