A 46-year-old man was seriously injured after an attempted gun murder late Wednesday night in the Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough of Montreal.

The police were alerted around 11:30 pm

According to preliminary reports, at least two suspects entered an apartment on Baldwin Street, near Hochelaga Street, which contained two people.

"The suspects seemed to be looking for something," said Manuel Couture, spokesperson for the Montreal Police Service (SPVM).

"Not finding what they wanted, they would have fired at a victim, a 46-year-old man, before leaving," he added.

The man was taken to a hospital with a serious upper body injury. He has since remained in a stable state.

The second victim would not have been hurt.

No arrests were made.

A crime scene was erected on site to allow investigators and the handler to learn more about the circumstances surrounding this event.
