The three simultaneous attacks and surveys in Montreal neighborhoods on Friday evening could be religious. They let me think that spring and the resolution will provoke a new escalation of violence in the coming weeks.

An individual was killed by at least one firearm projectile during a shooting in the Rivière-des-Prairies-Pointe-aux-Trembles district, in Montreal.
At the same time, a third man, aged 19, was injured by firefighting projectiles in Rivière-des-Prairies, on the banks of the Perras and Rodolphe-Forget boulevards, at a milestone of only the first event of the first event.
For several ex-police officers contacted by The Journal hier, the challenge of the SPVM will be to determine if these events have a link, car, with the spring and the final, the crimes are more beautiful.
“The return of the spring, it is not just a matter of covering the evils, it is also a matter of sorting out the criminals,” said François Doré, ex-police officer of the Quebec Security.
André Durocher, former inspector of the SPVM, subscribes in the same sense.
“The good times are coming, the bars are open, the people are leaving. It would be fair to say that there was probably a multiplication of events as it seems that at some point the people are waiting to laugh”, explains-t -il.
If ex-Policier Paul Laurier believes that the events could be read between them, André Durocher, he, calls for the prudence to draw conclusions.
“We must pay attention to the conclusions because sometimes there are coincidences,” he says.
These first print events always feature an alarm siren to prevent Montreal from being the last violence theater. In 2021, 187 Fusillades took place in the metropolis.
For André Durocher, the coming weeks and the next months will present a test to see if the work of investigating the last months of the fighting battles against the firefighters of the SPVM and the SQ bears its fruits.
“If it continues to mount, it is certain that it will have questions about efficiency. [de ces escouades]», He explains.
On his part, François Doré hopes that the early departure of the Director General of the SPVM will provide a new outlet with someone who will give priority to the issue of the proliferation of violence.
