A shooting in Montreal’s Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood leaves three people dead, police and multiple news outlets report. Authorities say a police officer is killed, along with a civilian, during the incident on Monday. Police also say the suspect is shot and killed.
Several outlets describe the suspect as firing at or involving police in and around a hotel area, with officers returning fire after the shooting begins. The Guardian reports that video shows the suspect armed with a long gun and that one officer is seriously injured, though other outlets focus primarily on the confirmed deaths rather than the circumstances of any additional injuries.
At least two news reports state that there is no immediate public information about a motive. Coverage also notes that police provide the key details, including the identities of the deceased categories (officer, civilian, suspect) and that the suspect is declared dead at the scene following police response.
Overall, sources agree on the location, the three deaths including the suspect, and that police are conducting an investigation.
