Montreal police investigating 3 shootings within 5 hours
The Service de Police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) is investigating a series of shootings that occurred within five hours on Sunday night and left one man with serious injuries.
According to the SPVM, the first shooting happened at around 7 p.m. at the Atwater Metro station in downtown Montreal after a fight involving a dozen people broke out.
The victim, a 38-year-old man, was shot in the upper body.
Police say it's not clear why the shooting took place. They say the victim is not collaborating and everyone else involved in the incident fled the scene.
Montreal police were also called two other shooting incidents.
At around 9:30 p.m., shots were reported fired in a residential neighbourhood in the city's Saint-Leonard borough. Shell casings were found on Jean-Nicolet Street.
About two hours later, police say someone approached a residential building on The Boulevard in Westmount and fired more than one shot at the doors before fleeing the scene.
Police have yet to arrest anyone in connection with the three incidents.
