Fatal shooting at Pauline Marois Quebec victory speech
Gunman bursts in, shooting two people and starting fire, as leader of separatist Parti Quebecois addresses supporters
One person has been shot dead in Quebec and another wounded after a gunman entered the venue where Pauline Marois, the separatist Parti Quebecois leader who had just become the Canadian province's premier-elect, was giving her victory speech.
Voters in the French-speaking province on Tuesday ousted the governing Liberals and installed the Parti Quebecois as a minority government – in the process making Marois the first female premier of Quebec.
Around midnight, two bodyguards abruptly interrupted Marois's victory speech, bundling her into the backstage area after a deafening boom rang out.
According to Montreal police, one 45-year-old man was fatally shot and a 30-year-old man was in critical condition after a man in his 50s entered the back door of Montreal's Metropolis concert hall, and shot them. He also started a fire on the premises. A spokesman for the force added that another man was being treated in hospital for "nervous shock".
