Shots heard in Côte St-Paul

Shots were heard early Saturday in Côte St‑Paul – within hours, as Radio‑Canada says, of the creation of the new police squad Centaure, meant to fight firearm trafficking. No victim was found, but around the same time a man turned up at a hospital with bullet wounds, from which he has died.

Radio-Canada’s account says it’s not known whether these two incidents are linked. The way TVA tells it, only a few minutes separated the sound of gunshots and the arrival of the victim at the unnamed hospital.

Update: CBC has a bit more about how the shooting victim got to hospital and that there were indications shots had been fired inside the car.
