A 66-year-old man was shot and killed in Laval outside the business Centre Céramique 440, near Highway 440 in Laval on Tuesday morning.
Laval police responded to a 911 call around 7:45 a.m. about the shooting.
They located the man on the ground of the parking lot when they arrived onsite – where he died.
