Shortly after, the police were informed that a person with gunshot wounds presented to a hospital.
“According to initial information, everything suggests that the victim was shot and injured at the intersection of the call made to 911 for shots fired,” said Caroline Chèvrefils.
The victim will be met by SPVM investigators in the next few hours.
