Car crash victims were teenagers

The two young men who died in the car crash in Rosemont on Thursday, and who are thought to have shot at two other vehicles in the Plateau and in Rosemont that night, were 14 and 16 years old and already known to police. Their motive isn’t clear, although this item says the two drivers they shot at were middle‑aged men with no criminal history who seem to have been chosen randomly as targets.

Updating with further La Presse investigation: the two kids may have been responding to a dare as part of a gang initiation.
