A 37-year-old woman is in hospital after being shot overnight in Anjou.
Police arrived at Roi Rene Blvd. near Wilfrid Pelletier Blvd. at 3:30 a.m. to find a woman had been struck at least once by a bullet.
She was taken to hospital and is expected to survive her injuries.
Officers later said she had been hit by a bullet that went through the trunk of a car and struck her while she was in the back seat.
Police searched the surrounding area overnight but found no sign of an attacker in the vicinity.
However, a short time after the shooting, officers on patrol stopped a car on Villeray Blvd. at 17th Ave. because they could see bullet holes in the vehicle.
Police questioned the driver, a man in his 40s, and later released him, although they impounded the vehicle and sent it to a lab for analysis.
