A 27-year-old man was shot near two daycares in NDG on Wednesday. Montreal police responded to reports of gunfire just before noon and found the 27-year-old victim on Montclair near Fielding.

According to police, the man was with a woman when he was approached by another man who struck him and then shot twice, with one bullet striking him in the lower body. The suspect fled on foot and the victim was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police found two shell casings on the ground near Nif-Naf and K.I.D.S daycare centres and are interviewing witnesses. No arrests were made as of press time.

Police set up a perimeter and closed Montclair between Fielding and Chester Ave, and Fielding between Walkley and Rosedale. According to media reports, the men had been involved in an altercation earlier on Wednesday. See next week’s Suburban for community reaction to rising violence
