A mobile police command post will be stationed all day Friday near the College Montmorency in Laval in hopes of advancing the investigation into a shooting that prompted a lockdown of students and staff on Nov. 11.
Investigators from the major crimes unit of the Service de Police de Laval (SPL) will be at the command post from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., near door 7 of the college.
Investigators are hoping to meet with witnesses who may have witnessed the shooting.
Late in the afternoon on Nov. 11, a suspect approached Collège Montmorency and allegedly fired several times at four people who then took refuge inside the college. This triggered a major lockdown at the college as police secured the area. About 500 students and staff were kept inside for more than four hours as worried family members waited outside.
