Two teenage boys were shot and wounded in a late-night incident Wednesday in Montreal’s Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough.

Montreal police (SPVM) spokesperson Const. Julien Lévesque said a 911 call was placed at around 11:15 p.m. reporting gunshots at the intersection of Place de la Colombière and Olivier-Maurault Avenue.

“When police officers arrived on-site, they located the first victim, 19 years old, with a lower-body injury,” Lévesque said. “A few minutes later, they located a second victim, a young man of 15 years old, also with a lower-body injury.”
