A 32-year-old man is dead after being shot by an armoured truck guard outside a bank machine at 2145 Roland-Therrien in Longueuil early Saturday morning.
According to police, the man - a Longueuil resident - was shot while attempting to rob a pair of armoured truck guards at about 1:37 a.m.
The man attacked the guards as they were leaving the premises, a Longueuil police representative later told CTV Montreal.
It appears that the robber was unarmed.
The man, who was alone, was shot and died in hospital about 45 minutes later.
The two guards were hospitalized for nervous shock.
Investigators were on the scene Saturday morning in an attempt to analyze the scene.
