What happened
A shooting in Montreal’s Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood left a police officer and a civilian dead before officers killed the suspected gunman, authorities said. Montreal Police Chief Fady Dagher said officers responded to reports of an armed person, with several accounts placing the attack near the Hilton Garden Inn or nearby commercial area, and police ordered residents to shelter in place before later lifting the warning. Another officer was injured, and the killing marked Montreal’s first line-of-duty police death in roughly 25 years. Investigators have not publicly established a motive, though law enforcement sources told CNN the attack appeared to have targeted police.
