One man is in serious condition following a series of shootings in Montreal’s north end on Sunday.
Police first responded to reports of gunfire at 5:30 p.m. Sunday near the intersection of Pascal and Lapierre Street in Montreal North.
A short time later, a man in his early 20s arrived at hospital where he received treatment for a gunshot wound. His condition has been listed as serious but stable.
Then, around 9:30 p.m., a man in his early 50s was shot in the upper body in his driveway on 63rd Avenue near Perras Boulevard in Rivière-des-Prairies.
He was transported to hospital where he is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Ten minutes later, a man on foot opened fire on a vehicle in a residential parking lot in the same neighbourhood before fleeing the scene.
The driver of the vehicle also fled the scene and has not been identified by police.
Finally, around 10:20 p.m., a man in his 20s was shot while on his balcony on Armand-Bombardier Boulevard. He was treated at the scene and transported to hospital with non-threatening injuries.
Police have not linked any of the shootings.
“We are looking at all possibilities. At this point, we are looking at different events that happened in a short period of time, but difficult to say at this time if they are related,” said SPVM spokesperson Raphael Bergeron.
The investigation continues.
