The suspect reportedly fled on foot before the police arrived. No arrest was therefore made.
The Place-des-Arts metro station was also closed for approximately 45 minutes, indicated the Société de transport de Montréal on X. No trains stopped there.
The cause behind this event is unknown.
A scene was erected to allow investigators and experts to better understand the circumstances behind this armed attack. Possible surveillance cameras could be observed.
An investigation is underway.
