Montreal district locked down after shooting near Jewish institutions
A large police manhunt and an unusual shelter-in-place order were imposed on a Montreal neighborhood in Canada after a serious shooting near a local hotel. Authorities said the suspect fled the scene and was described as armed and dangerous.
Initial reports, which have not yet been officially confirmed, suggest that one of the injured may be a police officer who was shot when he arrived at the scene. The shooting reportedly took place in the heart of a major Jewish neighborhood.
The area includes religious institutions, Chabad houses, and many kosher businesses, adding to the sensitivity of the incident. Shots were heard during the event, according to the report.
No further official details on casualties or the suspect’s identity were provided in the source, and the search for the gunman was still underway.
