A 24-year-old man is in critical condition after a shooting in Sainte-Foy on Tuesday evening. The suspect is still being sought by the Quebec City Police Service (SPVQ).
At 9:38 p.m., police were called to intervene after a critically injured man was found in the middle of the street at the corner of rue de la Verdure and rue Flore-Duquet, near the Henri-IV highway.
“The man had serious injuries and was rushed to a nearby hospital,” SPVQ spokesman David Poitras said.

“It is still a little worrying that the person with the weapon has not been found. I’m going to wait a little longer before I go to bed,” concluded a tenant who lives on the rue d’Entremont late yesterday evening.
The SPVQ had to continue its work for a good part of the night to shed light on the situation and put its hands on the shooter’s collar.
