Police investigate shooting near junior college in Laval, Que.

LAVAL, Que. — At least three people were shot and injured in a park near a junior college in Laval, Que., just north of Montreal.

Laval police say they received word just before 5:30 p.m. Friday of a shooting in a park near Collège Montmorency, in that city’s Chomedey district.

Sgt. Geneviève Major, a police spokeswoman, says the victims sought refuge inside the college, creating some initial confusion as to where the shooting took place. 

Police have cordoned off the park and ordered the junior college locked down as a preventive measure while they investigate.
