Two people were shot in a double attempted murder on Thursday evening in the Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles borough of Montreal. Police identified the victims as a man and a woman, both of whom suffered gunshot injuries.
Emergency responders arrived at the scene shortly after the incident was reported. The man and the woman were transported to a local hospital for treatment. Their condition was not released, but both were reported to be alive after the shooting.
The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) confirmed that the incident constitutes a double attempted murder. Investigators are treating the case as a homicide investigation and have begun collecting evidence at the location. No arrests have been announced, and police have not disclosed a motive or any suspect information.
The shooting took place in the Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles area, a residential part of Montreal that has seen relatively low levels of violent crime in recent months. Authorities have urged residents to remain vigilant and to report any information that could assist the investigation.
Police continue to canvass the neighbourhood and are reviewing surveillance footage to identify potential leads. The SPVM has not indicated a timeline for when further details might be released, and the investigation remains ongoing.
