MONTREAL – An attempted murder early Friday morning in NDG has left one man in hospital.

A man walked into the Liquid Lounge on Sherbrooke Street shortly after midnight and shot a 26-year-old employee in the lower body.

The victim was taken to hospital and police do not fear for his life.

“The suspect left the scene by foot in an unknown direction, so that’s why we don’t have much information,” said Jean-Pierre Brabant with Montreal police.
