Gunman kills 2 in Montreal hotel shooting

A suspect armed with a long gun opened fire Monday at a Montreal hotel, killing a police officer before officers returned fire, killing him, police said. A civilian also died but it wasn't immediately clear who fired that shot.

Police Chief Fady Dagher said a second officer was seriously injured in the shooting in the city's Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood but is in stable condition.

Dagher said someone called emergency services around 11:35am about a person who was sticking a gun out of a window at the Hilton hotel. Police arrived at the scene and were targeted with gunfire. Video showed the shooter was also outside the hotel.

Police are still trying to determine the suspect's motive.

Videos posted on social media appear to show the exchange of gunfire between police and a person carrying a long gun.

Multiple agencies were consulted, including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, before investigators concluded that the shooting was not a terrorist attack.
