MONTREAL – Several shots were fired in the night from Thursday to Friday, inside a restaurant-bar located on Jarry street, near the boulevard Saint-Michel in the borough of Villeray-Saint-Michel-Parc-Extension, Montreal.

The suspect then allegedly left the scene on foot in a southerly direction.

A woman aged 25 years has been wounded by a bullet to the arm. She was transported to the hospital, her life would not be in danger.

A wide security perimeter has been erected.

Investigators and forensic identification officers will be on-site to understand the circumstances of the event. No arrest has yet been made.
