Suspects arrested, face multiple charges in Winnipeg shooting

Two people are in custody facing a lengthy list of charges after a shooting Friday evening, police say.

Officers were called to Keenleyside Street just before 6 p.m., and they learned a black SUV was involved in the incident.

Three days later, the suspect vehicle was spotted on Pembina Highway, police said, and during a traffic stop, one of the occupants took off on foot, but was quickly arrested. Police seized a pump-action shotgun and four shells that were inside the vehicle.
