Longueuil police are investigating an early morning shooting Friday on a residential street in the city’s Vieux-Longueuil district.
Local residents were evacuated from their homes as officers swept the area and set up a large security perimeter.
“Evacuations of certain addresses in the sector have been made as a preventive measure to ensure the safety of anyone who is there. We are still checking inside the perimeter,” a police statement read.
Shots rang out just before 6 a.m. along Daniel Street near Bridge Street, according to police.
Residents in the area told Global News they heard people arguing on the street before gunshots were fired.
No injuries were reported. Multiple shell casings were found at the scene, police said.
Two men have been detained by police and will be questioned by investigators. Police said it is still unclear if they have any connection to the incident.
Daniel Street between Le Blanc and Coteau Rouge remained closed.
