Three arrests have been made in connection with a brazen daylight shooting on Montreal’s south shore that sent a man to hospital Tuesday.
Longueuil police say the three men, who are in their 20s, were apprehended and questioned by investigators.
“These same suspects are expected to appear today at the Longueuil courthouse,” police said in a statement Wednesday.
“They could face various charges, including attempted murder and conspiracy.”
Police say the shooting happened around 3 p.m. in the back parking lot of a strip mall at the intersection of Rome and Route 132 in Brossard.
The victim, whose age is not known, was shot while sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle. He was rushed to hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
Police say they were able to link a second crime scene in Candiac, also located on Montreal’s south shore, to the arrests. Two firearms were also seized as part of the ongoing investigation.
