Gatineau police were searching for a gunman after two men were shot during an argument in the Mont-Bleu neighbourhood early Thursday, prompting an hours-long standoff that ended with no shooter in custody.

Investigators examined five different crime scenes around a low-rise apartment building at 12 rue Tassé, where police suspected the shooter had holed up for several hours Thursday morning.

Police said they received several calls at around 1:15 a.m. from people who reported hearing gunshots. One witness said she heard two men arguing followed by the sound of five gunshots.

When officers arrived on scene, they found two men in their 20s suffering from injuries.

Paramedics took one man to hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to his leg. The second man’s wounds were minor. He refused treatment and was taken into custody by police.

Both men have known gang connections, police said, and neither was cooperating with the police investigation.
