Montreal police (SPVM) were racing across the city early Tuesday morning in response to three shootings that occurred within two hours of each other.
The first took place at midnight at Place Émilie-Gamelin Park, leaving behind a 38-year-old victim with injuries to the upper body.
"According to witnesses, at least one suspect would have fired on the victim before fleeing," said Gabriella Youakim, a spokesperson for Montreal police.
