Altercation and new gunshots in Montreal

(Montreal) The police are once again investigating shots fired in Montreal, this time in the borough of Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie before the bars closed.

Posted at 7:35 a.m.

It was a call to 911 around 3 a.m. Sunday morning that led the police to Saint-Hubert Street, near Beaubien Street East, where an altercation first took place outside.

“According to the first information obtained, it could be an altercation that took place outside. At some point, a suspect allegedly fired at least one shot,” said Constable Véronique Comtois, spokesperson for the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM).

The suspect fled before police arrived.

“So far, no injuries have been located or have come forward,” said Constable Comtois.

The crime scene was protected to allow SPVM investigators to analyze it.

“A dog handler was also requested for assistance in carrying out searches,” said the SPVM spokesperson.

The investigation is continuing.
