‘We lost family’: Stampeders mourn Mylan Hicks after Calgary nightclub shooting
CALGARY — Teammates of Calgary Stampeders defensive back Mylan Hicks say they feel like they’ve lost a family member after a fatal shooting outside a Calgary nightclub early Sunday.
Stampeders president and general manager John Hufnagel said several players were at the Marquee Beer Market & Stage after their win Saturday against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
“Everyone in the organization is grief stricken, hurting and we all have to heal,” he said.
Police say at about 2:30 a.m. Sunday, police responded to reports of a shooting at the club, where they found a man in his 20s who’d been shot. He was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition and later died.
