RCMP in Alberta say one of two suspects wanted in a deadly shooting east of Calgary last week has been arrested, but the search continues for the other.
With assistance from the Edmonton Police Service, Mounties announced Monday night they arrested a 35-year-old suspect in the Alberta capital on August 8.
Arthur Wayne Penner is charged with first-degree-murder in the death of Airdrie resident Colin John Hough, as well as attempted murder of another individual.

RCMP are asking for the public's help in the search for a second suspect, 28-year-old Elijah Blake Strawberry.
A warrant has been issued for his arrest on a charge of second-degree murder in Hough's death.
Strawberry is described as 6-foot-1, weighing 169 pounds with brown hair, a light complexion, and several arm and face tattoos, and police say he is considered armed and dangerous.
A manhunt began for the suspects on August 6 following the noon-hour shooting of two men who were doing work along a roadway in Rocky View County, and a county truck was stolen from the scene.
The shooting triggered an emergency alert that lasted several hours and urged local residents to take shelter as two armed and dangerous suspects were on the loose.
