A police officer and a civilian were killed Monday morning during a shooting in Montreal’s Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood.
The Montreal Gazette noted that one suspect was also killed and a second suspect is still at large.
Update: Global News reported that the most recent alert regarding the Montreal shooting and sheltering in place was lifted at 3 p.m. local time.
There does not appear to be continued focus on pursuing a second suspect.

At 12:30 p.m., people living in Côte-des-Neiges were warned that an “armed and dangerous suspect” was on the loose. Just over two hours later they were issued an “armed threat alert.”
CBC reported on the magnitude of the search for the suspect. “For those of you who are not as familiar with Montreal, Côte-des-Neiges is a very busy part of town. It’s part of the most populous borough in the city: Côte-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grâce,” the outlet noted. “Lots of residents and lots of businesses. So an operation like this one would be very startling to people in that area.”
FOX News pointed out that a second police officer was injured during the shooting and is in critical condition.
Earlier Monday morning Breitbart News observed a report in the Toronto Sun highlighting Canada’s “serious crime problem.”
