Police in Montreal say a gunman armed with a long gun opens fire at a Hilton hotel on Monday, killing a police officer. According to police accounts reported by multiple outlets, other officers respond and shoot the suspect dead at the scene. The incident occurs at the hotel, and police confirm that the suspect is killed during the exchange of gunfire.
Sources also report that at least one additional person dies during the incident. However, outlets differ in what details are immediately available, with police not fully clarifying right away who fired the fatal shot that killed the civilian. The reports are consistent that the police officer is killed first and that officers later return fire, resulting in the suspect’s death.
No further agreed-upon information is provided across the sources regarding the suspect’s identity, motive, or the exact location within the hotel where the shootings occur.
