MONTREAL – Police are investigating a shooting and two stabbings in northeast Montreal overnight Sunday that left one dead and two injured.
No arrests have been reported in connection with the two incidents that occurred within an hour of each other.
Montreal police officers (SPVM) were first called at around 12:10 a.m., after gunshots had been heard on 25 Avenue, in the Saint-Michel district.
Once on the scene, SPVM officers and ambulance crews found a 25-year-old man with at least one gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead on the spot.
A security perimeter was immediately set up to allow the canine squad and forensic identification technicians to comb the scene.
About an hour later, at around 1:10 a.m., a 911 call led police to an apartment in a residential building on Marie-Victorin Street, near Langelier Blvd, in Montreal-North. Once on the scene, they located a 52-year-old man with injuries. He was conscious when taken to hospital.
Shortly later, a 34-year-old man, also suffering from stab wounds, presented himself to police who were beginning their investigation at the apartment where the first injured man had been located.
The SPVM says it’s still unclear if the two stabbings are connected.
