A police officer, a bystander, and one suspect are dead after a shooting in a Montreal neighbourhood that resulted in a shelter in place warning for nearby residents.
A male officer and a bystander both succumbed to their injuries, Montreal Police Chief Fady Dagher said in an afternoon press conference.
He also said a female officer was taken to hospital with critical injuries but has since been stabilized, and a second civilian sustained minor injuries.
Dagher said “the main suspect” was dead and the “immediate threat has been neutralized.”
Officers responded to the Hilton Garden Inn on Décarie Boulevard in the Côte-des-Neiges borough after receiving a 911 call at 11:35 a.m. that shots had been fired, Dagher said. The officers were fired on as soon as they arrived at the scene. …
