Calgarians are being asked to avoid part of the Evergreen community this morning after a shooting incident left one person dead and another in a "life-threatening condition."

In a series of tweets, Calgary Police said they were called to the 100 block of Everwoods Court S.W. at around 8:20 a.m. after receiving reports of two people in medical distress.
