A 27-year-old man was targeted by firearm projectiles Friday morning in a residential neighborhood in the Villeray sector, in Montreal.
The Montreal City Police Service (SPVM) received several calls regarding gunshots that occurred on rue de Lanaudière, not far from rue Everett. Officers responded to the scene around 7:20 a.m. without locating any victims or suspects. However, a perimeter was erected given the presence of several shell casings on the ground.
It was a few hours later, shortly before noon, that they identified the young man targeted by the shots. Fortunately, the 27-year-old man with no criminal record was not injured.
The investigation continues and there have been no arrests at this time.
