Police are investigating two violent incidents in Montreal’s Saint-Leonard district Wednesday night.
At around 8 p.m., police responded to several 911 calls reporting gunshots outside a residential home on Robert Boulevard and Malouin Street.
While several bullets penetrated the home, no one was struck and no injuries were reported. The suspect or suspects fled the scene by vehicle.
“We will be checking security cameras in the area to see if we can identify the suspect or suspects,” said police spokesperson Laurent Gingras.

No suspects have been identified in either attack, but given the proximity of time and place, investigators say they will be looking at a possible link between the two incidents.
“In distance and time, this is something we are investigating, to see if there is a link here,” Gingras said.
