The Montreal Police Department (SPVM) is investigating after shots were fired at a Carrefour Angrignon in Montreal’s LaSalle district on Friday night.
The police received an emergency call around 21:10 at night reporting that shots were heard near the shopping center.
The suspects fled before the police arrived at the scene, where they found several shell casings on the ground and at least two missile hits on the building.
“According to preliminary information, a vehicle approached another parked vehicle before shooting in its direction. After that, those involved fled inside a business, before fleeing in an unknown direction,” said SPVM spokeswoman Sabrina Gauthier.
No arrests were made.
However, a 19-year-old wounded man was taken to the hospital shortly after. His injuries are not life-threatening.
“The circumstances surrounding this person, who is suspected to have been stabbed, remain unknown,” SPVM police officer Caroline Cheverfils said Saturday morning.
“At this point, we cannot confirm that there is a connection between these two events,” she explained.
The SPVM opened a separate investigation into this person.
Both investigations are ongoing.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on May 4, 2024.
