Another shooting in Winnipeg's West End, for no apparent reason. This time the victim was a 17 year-old girl named Jenna Catcheway, who was minding her own business at the time. Fortunately, her wounds were not that serious (h/t).

The girl said the ordeal began when the group started to throw rocks at a house across from the Agnes Street house where she lives.

After at least one window smashed, she said people came out of the home and chased the vandals around the corner and down an alley.

Out of curiosity, the girl and her 11-year-old brother followed to watch. Standing about 150 yards from the siblings, police said one of the youths pointed a firearm at them and pulled the trigger.

"All we heard was a loud bang and then we looked at my sister's arm and it was bloody," her brother said.

The girl ran home and was taken to Health Sciences Centre's emergency room, where staff confirmed she had been shot. She was released six hours later.

The culprit was one of five gangstas, all of whom were wearing black and white colors. Read more at The Winnipeg Free Press, and Winnipeg First
