A 65-year-old man was injured in a home invasion shooting in Lévis, Quebec, over the weekend. The incident, which occurred between Saturday and Sunday night, has prompted a police investigation, though details remain limited as of Sunday morning.
According to reports from the police department of Lévis, officers responded to a call at a residence on the côte du Passage. Upon arrival, they discovered the man suffering from a gunshot wound to the pelvis. He was immediately transported to a local hospital, where medical personnel have indicated his injuries are not currently considered life-threatening.
Preliminary investigations suggest the victim was confronted by two suspects who allegedly entered his apartment with the intent to demand money. The suspects fled the scene prior to the arrival of law enforcement and remain at large. Authorities have not yet released descriptions of the individuals involved.
The investigation is ongoing, with detectives and forensic technicians working to piece together the events that transpired. As of Sunday morning, police were unable to confirm what type of firearm was used in the shooting, nor whether the suspects had any prior relationship with the victim. The lack of immediate information underscores the early stage of the inquiry.
This incident comes amidst a broader context of increasing concerns regarding home invasions and violent crime in various regions. While the specifics of this case are localized to Lévis, Quebec, it reflects a pattern of incidents that have prompted increased scrutiny of security measures and law enforcement responses. The focus now is on apprehending the suspects and determining the full extent of their involvement.
The Ogle County Sheriff’s Department in Illinois reported a series of arrests on February 7th and 8th, 2026, though these incidents are unrelated to the Quebec shooting. On February 7th, Sandy Cruz, 23, of Rockford, was arrested following a traffic stop in the 7000 block of North Illinois Route 251. She faces charges of Driving with No Valid License and an outstanding Ogle County Warrant, as well as citations for Operating a Motor Vehicle with No insurance and Operating a Motor Vehicle with Suspended Registration. She was released on a Notice to Appear for the license violation, while remaining detained on the warrant.
Also on February 7th, John Vaultonburg, 37, of Forreston, was arrested during a traffic stop near the intersection of IL Rte. 26 and Baileyville Road for a Failure to Appear (FTA) warrant issued by Ogle County. He is currently being held in lieu of bond. Later, on February 8th, Jesse Bushman, 29, of Rock Falls, was arrested after a traffic stop near Freeport and Lanark Roads for Driving While License Revoked and issued a citation for a loud exhaust.

Jacob Kniss, 26, of Mt. Morris, was arrested on February 7th following a traffic stop in the 8000 block of N. Mt. Morris Road for Driving While License Revoked.

Meanwhile, reports surfaced on January 16, 2026, regarding an incident in Lee County, Florida, where deputies shot Alex Paul Jordan. Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno stated that deputies used lethal force after Jordan was found armed with a gun. The incident is currently under investigation, and calls for the release of body cam footage have been made to provide a clearer understanding of the events that unfolded.
These disparate incidents – a home invasion in Quebec, traffic-related arrests in Illinois, and a police shooting in Florida – underscore the complex and often unpredictable nature of law enforcement and public safety. While each case presents unique circumstances, they collectively highlight the challenges faced by communities and the ongoing need for vigilance and effective policing.
