Montreal police are investigating a shooting overnight that injured a 44-year-old man.

The incident happened just before 11 p.m. Friday in the Lachine borough on Louis-Paré Street, near 26th Avenue.

Const. Sabrina Gauthier of the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal says officers found the man with at least one bullet wound in the upper body.

The man was in critical condition when he was taken to hospital on Friday.

Saturday afternoon, police said he was out of danger and that investigators would meet with him.

Early reports indicate the man was shot as he stepped out of his vehicle, Gauthier said, noting that the suspects fled before police arrived.

Not much time elapsed, though, before the bloodcurdling crimes were sidelined as international attention switched, rather too eagerly, to Israel’s war in Gaza. Thousands of Palestinians were tragically killed
