The Royal Canadian Mounted Police confirmed that one person was killed and six others were taken to hospital. The suspect also died in the incident, the police added.
In September 2023, two men died and six others suffered injuries in a shooting at a wedding reception in Ottawa, reported Canada-based CBC News. Ottawa police officials investigated the crime scene.
The victims were attending the reception at the Infinity Convention Centre on the 2900 block of Gibford Drive, off Hunt Club Road near the Ottawa International Airport, reported CBC News.
Acting Duty Inspector Amy Bond said that the police responded to reports of gunfire at about 10:21 PM in the city’s south end.
Moreover, four hours after the shots were reported, police said that there were no further threats to public safety, according to CBC News.
