Saskatoon police say two men who were treated for gunshot wounds in the city on Wednesday refused to talk to investigators.
In the first incident, a 41-year-old man sought treatment at City Hospital for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound shortly before 5 p.m., police said in a Thursday news release.
He was “unwilling to provide officers with any information to continue an investigation,” the release said.
Later that night, around 11:50 p.m., police responded to a report of a man suffering from a gunshot wound in the 100 block of Avenue B South.
“Again, the 24-year-old victim would not provide a statement to officers; however, officers believe the suspect and victim were known to one another,” the release said.
The man was taken to hospital for treatment; police said his injury was not considered life-threatening.
Anyone with information or video that could be relevant to either shooting is asked to call city police at 306-975-8300 or report it anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
