Calgary, Canada: Calgary Guns & Gangs Unit has concluded several recent operations, arresting suspects and seizing weapons and drugs.

In the first case, investigators charged a 26 year-old-man following a shooting incident outside a northeast bar.

Just after 11 p.m., on Sunday, Oct. 5, 2014, several people were thrown out of the bar in the 13400 block of 52 Street N.E., following an altercation. As the two groups continued to argue outside, one of the men pulled out a handgun and fired several shots towards the rival group and the bar. One man was shot in the leg, while several others inside the bar were sent diving for cover as bullets entered the business. One patron was injured by flying glass.

Warrants were issued shortly after the incident for Ramin Dadkhuda, 26, of Calgary. He was arrested at the end of October and charged with multiple weapons offences, as well as two counts of aggravated assault.

In the second and unrelated case, officers charged a local man with attempted murder following a shooting incident in Pineridge, also in October 2014.

On Thursday, Oct. 23, 2014, two groups of men arranged to meet on a street in the 6700 block of 26 Avenue N.E. When the groups arrived at the arranged meeting place around 7:30 p.m., their two cars pulled up beside each other, when someone inside of the cars fired shots into the other. The driver of the one vehicle was shot in the face. The offenders fled the area.

Three days later, on Sunday, Oct. 26, 2014, the offender turned himself in to police and was charged.
