Montreal police are investigating after a young man was shot in Lachine Wednesday afternoon.
At around 7:30 p.m., police got a call about a shooting near a basketball court on Duff Court Street.
When officers arrived, they found a man believed to be in his early 20s with a gunshot wound on his upper body. He was sent to hospital with serious injuries.
Paramedics performed CPR on the victim as they were rolling him into the ambulance. A woman could be heard crying loudly in front of a large group of people as someone came to console her.
The suspect allegedly arrived and fired a gun before fleeing the scene, police spokesperson Veronique Dubuc said.
Police are waiting for an update on the man’s condition in hospital.
