Police received a 911 call at around 6 p.m. alerting them to the wounded child, who was picked up by emergency-responders at Doctor Penfield Ave. and Cote-des-Neiges Rd.
"Following the analysis of the scene and meeting with the victim, the investigators were able to determine the teenager had been wounded by a bullet inside an apartment," said SPVM spokesperson Caroline Chèvrefils.
