A homicide investigation is underway after a woman died from injuries at a home in northwest Calgary on Tuesday afternoon.

Emergency crews were called to a home on 73 Street NW, in the area of 77 Street and Bowness Road, around 1 p.m. for reports of a woman in medical distress.

Officers found an injured woman at the home and attempted lifesaving measures but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses tell CityNews two young children were seen coming out of the house covered in blood. No other injuries have been reported.

A short time later, officers were seen handcuffing a man outside the home and he was taken away by police around 3 p.m.

The homicide unit has taken over the investigation and an autopsy will be conducted on Wednesday morning.

“As the investigation is in the early stages, no additional details are available at this time,” reads a statement from Calgary police.

Anyone with additional information is being asked to contact police.

This is a developing story. More to come.
