Residents of the Griffintown neighborhood in Montreal were awakened early Saturday morning when shots rang out.
According to initial information from the Montreal City Police Service (SPVM), individuals discharged one or more firearms at Pizzeria Moretti at the intersection of Peel and Wellington streets, around 4:20 a.m. Saturday. The suspects then fled on foot.
“There were no injuries in this incident,” said SPVM spokesperson Véronique Dubuc. “No suspects have been located at this time,” she added.
The window of Pizzeria Moretti, which made headlines by refusing to close its doors during the pandemic, was smashed, and several shell casings were found on the scene.
A security perimeter was erected on Wellington Street, between Henri-Bourassa Boulevard and Peel Street, to allow forensic identification technicians and SPVM investigators to carry out their investigation.
However, traffic should not be affected by police operations during the day on Sunday.
