Man arrested at Trudeau airport after shots fired in Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie
A 29-year-old man was arrested at Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport last Thursday in relation to a shooting that happened in the Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie borough.
Montreal police (SPVM) say they have reason to believe the man was "preparing to flee abroad" as he had a one-way ticket to France and nearly $6,000 in Canadian currency.
This comes after gunshots were heard at 7 p.m. on April 7 on 25e Avenue and de Bellechasse Street.
According to police, a 21-year-old man was sitting in a vehicle that had previously been reported stolen.
"After a short discussion, the suspect allegedly drew a 9mm pistol and fired several shots at the other man," police note. "The man in the car was hit by a projectile in the upper body. Despite this injury, he managed to flee the scene and make his way to the hospital."
His injuries were not life-threatening.
Police note the suspect is known to them.
He appeared at the Montreal courthouse to face one charge of attempted murder.
He is also accused of possessing a firearm without authorization and discharging it recklessly.
The victim was also arrested while still in hospital.
He is slated to be charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm.
