A man was shot on the 600 block of Selkirk Avenue. He later succumbed to his injuries in the hospital. A woman was also shot but has recovered. Winnipeg adds one more to the list before less than 24 hours before the new year. Lets hope this record will never be achieved or broken in the future. My prayers to the family and friends of the 39 of those who lost their lives this year in Winnipeg. It is a great city, it just needs some love.
