Montreal police responded to a 911 call around noon on Sunday about a shooting at Jean-Talon St. and Victoria Ave.—but a spokeman says it was all a hoax.

Const. Manuel Couture says the caller described a large altercation and that a person was shot in a building near the street corner, but officers found no victim on site and eventually declared the call to be a con.

The matter has been transfered to investigators in the sector, and could be looked into further, Couture added.
