Well now it's getting a little more interesting the reports now are 1 Killed, & 3 wounded
Here's the latest update:
MONTREAL – Three men were shot, one fatally, inside a high-end Old Montreal clothing shop around 2 p.m. on Thursday afternoon and police are searching for two gunmen who fled. A fourth victim, a woman, went to a local hospital on her own to be treated for her injuries.
Police quickly cordoned off St. Jacques St. between St. Jean and St. François Xavier Streets as they began their investigation.
Bystanders milled about on the sidewalk, but none had witnessed the broad-daylight shooting.
Montreal Police spokesperson Anie Lemieux said it was too early to tell the context of the crime, whether it was armed robbery or some other motive.
A reporter arrived to see a body being loaded into an ambulance and driven away. Two ambulances left the scene of the crime, while a third remained parked outside the store, on a strip of St. Jacques lined with boutique hotels and offices.
The store, Flawnego, is owned by Joseph Ducarme, believed to be a street gang leader associated with the Reds. Ducarme was facing assault charges and is alleged to have intimidated business owners in a bid to exert influence over drug territory.
Montreal has been the site of a turf war over the illegal drug trade after police operations in recent years decimated the Hells Angels and hobbled the mob.
Ducarme’s name also surfaced in the wake of the shooting of Nicolo Rizutto Jr. in December, son of reputed Mafia don Vito Rizzuto.
Documents to support a search warrant executed against two of Ducarme’s associates identify him as an enforcer for Tony Magi, the construction magnate for whom Rizzuto Jr. worked.
Rizzuto Jr. was gunned down in front of Magi’s offices in NDG on Dec. 28 sparking fears of reprisals.
More details to come

MONTREAL – Police patrollers are fanning out in Old Montreal Friday to reassure business owners and residents following the gangland-style shooting at a St. Jacques St. W. boutique Thursday that left two dead and two injured.
The shooting seems to have been a planned hit, and not a random event, Montreal police Constable Anie Lemieux said.
Three of the four victims were known to police, she said.
Investigators are still searching for two suspects who opened fire Thursday afternoon at FlawNego, an upscale boutique owned by Joseph Ducarme.
Ducarme's bodyguard, Peter Christopoulos, and an unidentified man were killed. Two other men were injured.
Investigators have seized items that seem to have belonged to the gunmen, and viewed video surveillance of the area, Lemieux said. They have also interviewed witnesses to the shooting and the gunmen's escape.
Anyone with information is asked to call Info-Crime at 514-393-1133. All calls are confidential.
