Shooting in Montreal injures one

A 24-year-old man is injured after an early morning shooting in Montreal.

Montreal police (SPVM) received several 911 calls at 1:15 a.m. on Wednesday about gunshots heard near the corner of Durocher Street and Sherbrooke Street.

“On scene, patrol officers located a victim...who had been injured in the lower body, possibly by a firearm projectile,” said Florence Stafford, a spokesperson with Montreal police.

The man, who was transported to the hospital in critical condition, is now stable.

“According to the initial information, the suspect left the scene before the police arrived,” Stafford said.

The SPVM later determined the attempted murder was linked to an escalated conflict between a victim and suspect known to each other.

No arrests have been made.

The investigation is ongoing.
