In a shocking incident on Thursday morning, multiple people were injured in what authorities are describing as an “armed attack” at an apartment building west of Montreal. A suspect is now in custody in connection with the incident.
Although the exact details of the attack are still emerging, a reliable source has revealed that the victims sustained injuries from stabbing. The Quebec provincial police have yet to confirm the total number of victims and provide information on their conditions.
The Sûreté du Québec received the distress call just before noon, prompting a swift response to the highrise on Émile Bouchard Street in the Vaudreuil-Dorion suburb. Emergency services, including the CETAM paramedic team from the Montérégie region, were dispatched to the scene.
Renaud Pilon, spokesperson for CETAM paramedic service, reported that five ambulances were deployed, and advanced medic teams were on hand to assist. One victim, described as being in unstable condition, received advanced paramedic care during transportation to a hospital in Montreal.
Authorities are actively investigating the incident to determine the motive behind the attack and to gather more information on the victims. The community remains on edge as details continue to unfold regarding this unsettling event west of Montreal.
