Overview
- Police deployed after reports of an armed person and an exchange of gunfire in the Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood left three people dead: a Montreal police officer, a civilian and the suspected attacker.
- Authorities say the immediate threat has been neutralized and that no additional suspects are being sought.
- A second officer was wounded, taken to hospital in critical condition and later reported stable, and a civilian suffered minor injuries.
- Officials issued a shelter-in-place advisory during the response, later lifted as officers, tactical teams and emergency crews secured the area.
- Investigators are collecting witness statements, surveillance footage and forensic evidence, and police have asked the public to hand over any photos or videos rather than draw conclusions from social media.
