The police in Montreal were conducting a manhunt after a shootout near a building complex on Monday killed one officer and wounded two other people.
The authorities said that one suspect had been killed. The wounded were identified as an officer and a civilian.
Officers were securing the perimeter of the shooting, which took place in the Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood, a short drive from one of the city’s most affluent neighborhoods, Westmount. The shootout appears to have occurred near a high-rise building with commercial units on the ground floor, including a grocery store and a restaurant.
The province of Quebec issued an emergency alert warning of an armed and dangerous suspect on the loose just after 12:30 p.m.
The warning advised people to shelter in place away from windows and to lock their doors.
This is a developing story.
