Montreal police are investigating a deadly shooting in Riviere des Prairies.
A woman was shot and killed around 6 a.m. near Andre Ampere Ave. between Fernard Gauthier Ave. and Gilbert Barbier Ave.
Police have determined that she stepped out of her home and walked to white SUV, and had just stepped inside when a gunman shot her multiple times.
Several people called 9-1-1 after hearing the gunshots coming from behind her home.
When police arrived they found the woman in her car. Paramedics were not able to help the woman and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
A young boy and young girl were in the apartment at the time. While they were unharmed and are now in care of Child Protective Services, police will not say if they are the victim's children.
Officers from the major crimes squad arrived shortly before 8 a.m. to continue the investigation. They say at first glance that the woman is not known to police.
