MONTREAL – Quebec’s police watchdog is investigating after a shootout between a suspect and Montreal police left three people seriously injured in a western suburb on Sunday night.
The shooting occurred around 10:45 p.m. on a busy street corner in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, a Montreal suburb.
The watchdog says police received a call from someone who reported an argument inside their home and that they had heard gunshots.
One of the people involved in the dispute left the home and allegedly pointed a firearm at a motorist, who then fled.
The suspect then walked toward a second vehicle nearby, beside which were three people.
Police arrived to the scene and exchanged gunfire with the suspect, who was hit and suffered serious injuries but whose condition has since stabilized.
Two people who were near the car were also hit by gunfire and seriously injured, but the watchdog says their lives are not in danger.
Quebec provincial police are taking over the criminal probe while the watchdog — Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes — investigates the actions taken by Montreal police.
