A shooting in Montreal, Canada, has resulted in three fatalities, including a police officer, a resident, and the alleged assailant, according to local police. The situation is still unfolding.

Few details have emerged about the circumstances of Monday's incident. Police posted on social media: 'A suspect has been neutralized. Two police officers and one citizen have been injured,' without specifying whether there was more than one attacker.

Montreal Police later confirmed that an officer had died in the line of duty. News agency AFP reported that the attack killed a police officer, a civilian, and the suspected attacker.

No motive has been revealed so far. Earlier, law enforcement warned of an 'armed and dangerous' suspect in the Cote-des-Neiges area and urged residents to stay indoors.

An update on the situation is expected within the next hour.
