3 men injured in shootout involving Montreal police: Quebec watchdog

Quebec’s independent police watchdog is investigating after three men were injured in an exchange of gunfire involving police in Montreal’s Dollard-des-Ormeaux neighbourhood late Sunday.

The Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes (BEI) said it launched a probe around 10:45 p.m. and Quebec provincial police will undertake their own parallel criminal investigation.

Montreal police were first called to a residence where gunshots were heard during a dispute, according to preliminary information obtained by the BEI.

The BEI said a man reportedly involved in the dispute left the home on foot and allegedly pointed a gun at a driver. The driver left the scene and the man then approached a second vehicle near where three other people were standing.

When Montreal police arrived at the scene, there was an exchange of gunfire between officers and the man.
