Youth arrested in CSL after firing BB rifle near school
A 15-year-old youth was arrested after firing a BB rifle in close proximity to the École des Amis de Monde School on Mackle Road in Côte St. Luc recently.
Station 9 Commander Sylvain Bissonnette told The Suburban that one child was slightly injured by a plastic pellet. Special precautions were also taken and Jewish community institutions were contacted, as the incident took place on the Jewish high holiday of Yom Kippur. But as it turned out, the incident was not a hate crime.
“It was just someone doing a stupid thing,” Bissonnette explained.
The commander said he was very pleased with the way the school took precautions for its students during the time of the incident and before the arrest, as well as the actions of his officers.
“Everything was done by the book,” Bissonnette said.

The commander also said that the apparent motive for the recent Sept. 20 shooting on Borden Avenue and Fleet Road in Côte St. Luc was intimidation of a businessman over money that was wanted. No one was injured in the shooting. According to media reports, the alleged assailant led police on an extensive chase that ended several hours later that same night of Sept. 20, when he was arrested in Laval.
