Laval police are investigating after a shooting Tuesday afternoon in a residential neighbourhood in the Chomedey district. Police spokesperson Stéphanie Beshara said a 911 call reporting gunshots heard on Normandin Street, came in just after 1 p.m.
When officers arrived at the scene, they located a 33-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the leg. He was rushed to hospital but there is no fear for the man’s life.
The suspect or suspects, Beshara said, were in a vehicle when they shot towards the victim before fleeing the area. Police have yet to release a description of the vehicle. No arrests have been made.
Beshara said the victim is known to Laval police services. He is expected to meet with investigators as soon as his health status allows.
A safety perimeter was put in place, closing Normandin Street at Beauregard Street, to allow for the investigation.
