Police say they responded to a call about gunshots a little after midnight in the St-Michel borough.

They say officers and ambulance crews arrived to find an injured 25-year-old man, who was pronounced dead at the scene. 

About one hour later police responded to a 911 call in the nearby Montréal-Nord borough and found a 52-year-old man in an apartment who they say was injured by a sharp object.

Police say a 34-year-old man with apparent stab wounds approached officers who were investigating the scene.
