Three men arrested in connection with a daytime shooting in Rivière-des-Prairies on Wednesday appeared in Montreal court Thursday afternoon to face charges.
Montreal police spokesperson Véronique Dubuc said the charges include attempted murder, discharging a firearm with intent, unauthorized possession of a firearm in a motorized vehicle and possession of a restricted or prohibited firearm with ammunition.
The accused were arrested shortly after 911 calls reported gunshots heard near 54th Avenue and 3rd Street at around 4:15 p.m. on Wednesday.

They are expected back in court on Friday for their bail hearings.
