Bergeron said they are still waiting for the second man’s health status, noting he lost consciousness during his transport to hospital. The other man’s injuries were not life threatening, he said.

Preliminary information obtained by police indicate the two might have known each other but Bergeron said that information still needs to be validated.

The reason behind the argument has yet to be determined.

The investigation is ongoing.
