'Who was the target': Calgary police investigate home invasion that left 1 dead, 2 injured
Arrow found outside the home in Brentwood
Calgary police confirmed investigators have seized what appears to be an arrow from outside the home where a man was killed Thursday morning as they work to determine motive and identify suspects.
"There's evidence being collected there, what was actually used in that incident and what other items were located in and around the scene, that's still being determined," said Staff Sgt. Sean Gregson in a press conference Thursday afternoon.
"Autopsy results will obviously give us a lot of information tomorrow."
One man was killed and two others injured Thursday morning in what police say was likely a targeted attack inside the home in the northwest community of Brentwood.
"It has all the hallmarks of being targeted right now, and what we're trying to determine is who was the target," said Gregson.
House known to police
Police say they were called to the house on Braden Crescent N.W. around 9:15 a.m. for reports of a home invasion.
Officers found the man dead inside the home, along with two others who had been injured. The victim's identity won't be released until an autopsy takes place Friday morning.
Although he wouldn't speak to the nature of the calls, Gregson said police had two previous interactions with residents of the home, including once in the past year.
The homicide unit is investigating and witnesses are being interviewed, police said.
Second home invasion
Police won't say how many suspects they're looking for but Gregson said that once investigators have compiled more information, CPS will release further details.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call police or contact Crime Stoppers.
Just 12 hours earlier, and less than two kilometres away, three people were injured in another home invasion.
Police say the victims were stabbed at a home in the 2800 block of Capitol Hill Crescent N.W. after intruders broke in Wednesday night.
While Gregson said police "don't see any immediate connection" between the two home invasions, they're "not ruling it out."
