The alert warns local residents to stay indoors and for people to avoid the area.

Quebec’s Transport Department says it has closed sections of the Décarie expressway and other parts of the highway network in the central part of the city due to the ongoing police operation.

Officials have also closed significant sections of two metro lines.

Domestic Security Minister Ian Lafrenière said on X, “my thoughts are with the families of the people injured.”
