LAVAL, Que. (CP) -- Quebec provincial police were investigating a police chase and shootout that left one man dead and a Montreal police officer slightly wounded.
The man was suspected of shooting another police officer last month, police said Wednesday.
The chase led Montreal officers to nearby Laval where the suspect crashed into a police cruiser, police said.
“By the time they (Montreal police) tried to intervene and arrest the person there was an exchange of fire,” said provincial police spokesman Gilles Mitchell. “The suspect was critically wounded and died on the scene.”
