Montreal police are searching for a suspect after a shooting in a LaSalle bar left two in hospital.
Shortly before 9 p.m. on Tuesday, a man believed to be in his early 30s, entered a bar on Shevchenko Boulevard at David-Boyer Street in the borough, according to police spokesperson Const. Raphaël Bergeron.
“The information we have is that the suspect went into the bar, got invited to leave the premises due to him being kind of aggressive, then he came back a few minutes later,” Bergeron said. When the man came back, Bergeron explained, he had a gun with him and opened fire.

Two 72-year-old men were taken to hospital following the incident, though Bergeron emphasized their injuries were “not life-threatening.”
The suspect, meanwhile, fled the scene after the shooting, and remains at large. Investigators were not immediately able to provide much in the way of a physical description of the man, besides a rough estimate of his age range and the fact that he was white.
No arrests have been made.
