Quebec's police watchdog (BEI) is investigating after a 24-year-old woman was seriously injured in a car chase with Laval police early Friday morning.
Police were called to the Crazy Moon strip club on des Laurentides Boulevard around 3 a.m., after gunfire was heard nearby.
No one was shot, but police noticed a car hastily leaving the scene, and a chase ensued.

Officers managed to arrest at least one suspect and also found a gun on the scene.
