A confrontation with police in downtown Montreal ended with the suspect being shot at least once early Saturday morning.
At 3:00 a.m. at the intersection of du Bullion and Rene-Levesque, the man was leaving a bar where he had allegedly become involved in a fight. Police were called to the scene and found that the man was armed.
The man turned towards police and fired his weapon in their direction.
The suspect, whose identity is not yet known, is in critical condition after police returned fire, striking him.
The investigation of the incident has been handed to the Bureau of Independent Investigators while the Surete du Quebec will provide technical support.
