Two Winnipeg men are in custody after a firearm stolen from an off-duty RCMP officer's vehicle was used in a shooting that seriously injured a 16-year-old girl outside a Windsor Park convenience store.
"When I found out this happened it felt like my whole world came crashing down," said Colin Seguin, one of the victim's friends. "My heart just dropped to the ground."
A 22-year-old man has been charged with two counts of attempted murder as well as theft under $5,000, mischief under $5,000 and a number of weapons-related charges, police announced Monday.
A 25-year-old man faces numerous firearms-related charges and two counts of theft under $5,000.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, deputy chief Danny Smyth called the accused men's alleged actions "senseless and reckless."
"I'm certainly satisfied that we sort of restored public safety with the arrest and detention of these individuals, and they'll certainly be held accountable through our justice system," he said.
The shooting took place in the parking lot of the Mac's convenience store at Autumnwood Drive and Winakwa Road around 12:30 a.m. Saturday, not long after the firearm was stolen.
