Police responded to a drive-by shooting early yesterday morning at a residence in Dollard des Ormeaux, which was the scene of a suspicious car fire a month earlier. While no injuries were reported, investigators are looking into a possible connection to both incidents.

According to Montreal Police spokesperson Caroline Chèvrefils, several 911 calls were made around 1:20 a.m. to report that shots had been fired from a passing car at a residence on Papillon Street near Hyman Drive. Officers raced to the scene, but the suspects had fled.

Crime scene analysts recovered bullet casings and found several points of impact in the garage door of the luxury residence, while officers, some with sniffer dogs, scoured the scene.

On Feb. 1, police and firefighters were called to the same address to extinguish a mysterious car fire. No injuries were reported in that incident, which is also still under investigation.
