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.”

Neither victim’s injuries were life-threatening, according to Lévesque, and the two were conscious when being transported to hospital.

Members of the SPVM’s canine and forensics squads will take part in the investigation, set to begin Thursday morning. No arrests have been made.
