Overview

• At around 9:25 a.m. Saturday a 44-year-old man deliberately drove his vehicle slowly through the front entrance of the RCMP’s Quebec divisional headquarters in Westmount, shattering glass and causing significant façade damage.
• Two officers inside the building were unharmed during the low-speed breach that Montreal police attribute to the driver’s mental-health crisis rather than a terrorist act.
• The suspect was arrested on scene and taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and investigators plan to question him once his condition stabilizes.
• This incident follows a Monday shooting at the Strathcona RCMP detachment in Sherwood Park, Alberta, which remains under review by the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team.
• RCMP’s Quebec division has deferred inquiries to Montreal police and investigators are evaluating the facility’s security protocols and the driver’s motives.
