A brazen daytime shooting left two people dead and two injured in Old Montreal's busiest financial district, which is also a popular tourist area.
Const. Annie Lemieux said yesterday that the shooting took place at a high-end clothing store on Saint Jacques St., in the historic part of the city, which was once the heart of Canada's financial sector and still houses elegant old bank buildings.
Police, responding to a rash of emergency calls, found one man dead in the store. Montreal Police Department spokesman Olivier Lapointe said a second victim died later yesterday. Two others were hospitalized.
Police were on the hunt for a pair of suspects who fled the scene wearing white bandanas over their faces. One was wearing a dreadlocks wig.
Montreal now has had five homicide victims this year.
