The Laval Police Service (SPL) is investigating a violent incident involving a firearm that occurred on the evening of Wednesday, October 14.

At approximately 10:45 p.m., numerous people contacted the 911 emergency call centre to report hearing several gunshots in the Sainte-Rose area.

Near the intersection of boulevard Je-Me-Souviens and rue Lancelot, not far from Sainte-Rose-de-Lima Cemetery, SPL patrol officers located two victims who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

The two men, aged 34 and 28, were treated by Urgences-santé paramedics before being transported to the nearest hospital, where they were placed in the care of a medical team for appropriate treatment.

Fortunately, their injuries are not life-threatening. Investigators will interview them as soon as their medical condition allows.

It should be noted that SPL forensic identification technicians examined the scene in the early hours of the morning to collect as much evidence as possible to assist with the investigation.

The Crimes Against Persons Unit will lead the investigation to determine the causes and circumstances of the incident.
