  • Three people seriously hurt after targeted assault at Calgary Stampede: Police

Calgary police say they are investigating after three people were seriously hurt in an assault at the Calgary Stampede.

Police say they responded to reports of an assault just after 11 p.m. Tuesday near the Euroslide on the Stampede's midway.

They say they found a severely injured man who was transported to hospital in life-threatening but stable condition.

Police say they then responded to reports of a young person and a man who were injured outside the Stampede grounds.

Investigators say both people were victims of the same assault that took place on the midway and they were transported to hospital in serious but stable condition.

Police say the attack is not believed to be random, but they haven't arrested any suspects.
