(Montreal) Other shots of firearm projectiles sounded in Montreal, this time at the end of the evening, Monday, in the borough of Saint-Léonard, in the northeast of the city.
In the middle of the night on Tuesday, the Montreal Police Service (SPVM) reported no injuries and no one had been arrested.
It was a call to the 911 emergency telephone exchange made around 10:15 p.m. that led the police to a residence on rue Albanel, near the intersection of rue Thierry.
Upon their arrival, the officers met the occupants of the residence which had just been targeted by the projectiles. Moreover, the police saw bullet holes on the building, as well as projectile casings on the ground.
The SPVM says it learned that after opening fire, the person who fired fled on foot, to an unknown destination.
The police set up a security perimeter. Dogs from the police canine squad scoured the area in the hope that clues useful to the investigation would be found.
Investigators and forensic identification technicians from the SPVM will proceed later in the day, Tuesday, to an examination of the premises.
It was at least the fourth time in just under two weeks that gunshots were fired at a Montreal building.
Around 3:45 a.m. last Sunday, the window of a restaurant in the borough of Saint-Laurent was riddled with bullets. The establishment is located on rue Deslauriers, near the intersection of rue Benjamin-Hudon.
On the night of March 11, around 1:20 a.m., shots were fired at a residence on Anna-Paquin Street, in Rivière-des-Prairies.
And on March 6, a flurry of gunfire was fired at an establishment on Stanley Street, downtown, near the intersection of Sainte-Catherine Street West.
These attacks caused no injuries.
