Pensville Close in southeast Calgary blocked off by police
Police are investigating a fatal shooting in Penbrooke Meadows in southeast Calgary.
Just before 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday, police were called to a house in 200 block of Pensville Close S.E. after reports that a man had been shot.
The man died at the scene, police said in a release. Detectives from the homicide unit are investigating.
Police blocked off Pensville Close S.E. and several officers remained in the area throughout the morning.
The incident came as a shock to Kelly O'Donnell as she walked her daughter to James Short Memorial School across the field from the townhome complex where the shooting happened.
"You don't expect to wake up to something like this, you know, bringing your child to school," she said.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
